The linux hardward compatability HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html says the following about ATAPI tape drives:
> ATAPI tape drives > For these an alpha driver (ide-tape.c) is available in the kernel. > > ATAPI tape drives supported are > > Seagate TapeStor 8000 > Conner CTMA 4000 IDE ATAPI Streaming tape drive Does anyone know whether these are the only supported ATAPI tape drives, or just examples? I received another model of ATAPI tape drive (Sony SuperStation) as a gift and I want to be sure that it is totally useless before I return it. Thanks for reading my message, Ed Mulholland
