Bacula DID work very well with my old OnStream DI-30 (IDE) drive but
initially it took a lot of work and the help of both Kern and Willem,
the osst driver developer, to get it to run. With OnStream gone
bankrupt, their proprietary tape format has pretty much disappeared and
hence the drives I have have become useless (can't get any tapes for
them any more).
Your best bet really is to get the driver developers involved.
