Hi all, I'm considering buing a tapestreamer of some kind. As i also have to move large quantities of data now and then (3 to 4 Gb) i'm looking for a way to be able to write my tape under Linux and go to my friends and read it on ther Windows box (Yes, they are my friends, they are just not enlightened in the way of the GNU/Linux) At first i thought this would be no prob. at all (Zip on Linux is compatible with Windows Zip). I asked Onstream about this and they say:
"A backup made under windows cannot be read under Linux because under windows a DI-30 uses the Qic 172 protocol and under Linux it uses the Qic 157 protocol." Does anyone know a way to nip this in the butt? (w.o. me installing windows OR my friends installing debian...)
