It's my understanding from reading the postings here of others (and
thankfully not from experience :-) that this is about the only thing
these drives will do. But when you try to write multiple files, as
Amanda does, you're cooked.
I'm not sure which threads you read, but the one that started on 3-Apr
by Jason Clark with the Subject "Amanda and Onstream DI-30" seemed to
have the best and latest information.
>Can anyone help me, or should I just shoot this drive in the head?
On the other hand, here is a comment posted by Johannes Niess:
According to the SCSI newsgroups they are out of buisness.
You may not need much of a gun if this is the case :-).
