OK sounds like you have an ide tape drive. Actions you can take to start
with include :
a) run dmesg on the command line and check the output to see if the tape
drive is recognised by the m/c. If the drive isn't recognised then you have

Has anyone installed the KOffice 1.1beta2 rpm on MDK 8.0?
I runs great, but I do not see Kivio. I thought that it was part of KOffice

Okay, sorry 'bout that. I'm not sure if it is IDE or not. It's defintely not
SCSI! The data ribbon cable (from the tape drive) connects directly into the
data ribbon cable on my floppy drive. It uses QIC 120 mb cartridges. As for

Are there any similar software apps for ATAPI tape drives? My drive is an
ATAPI one not a SCSI.
As long as the software allows you to specify the device, there really

Taking a second bite at this though, tar is fine and has plenty of options

Try BRU for backups, it's a nice utility with a gui if you need it. Not open
source, but they've supported linux since the early days.

Tekram 390u2w is a nice card with good support. I'm running it along with a IBM
u2w 4.5 gig drive and a Seagate 4/8 travan tape. The card costs around $200,
the drive $210, and the tape unit $275 with one tape.

Thanks...
