Long answer: No, because OnStream isn't using a standard ATAPI driver for their IDE drives.
The make use of accessing the drive using very special commands in their proprietary backup
software. Without the software the drive won't work. I have already contacted On Stream about
this many times, (my boss insisted I get it working with FreeBSD), and to no avail, they will not
help me unless I'm running Windows.

I have an Onstream ADR2.60 IDE backup drive that I would like to start using with my FreeBSD 4.8 system. At startup I get a message via dmesg that there is no driver for this device..... 'kay. An hour of searching Google yielded me no closer to a driver, so here I am....
Can I use this drive with my system or do I have to bag it?
