- The type of tape drive you want is SCSI, and if it's SCSI it'll connect
- right up to your SCSI bus. With a 3000 that will have to be external,
- which means you need a power supply/case. Some tape drives come bundled
- with software and handlers. Some do not. I know that the C= software in
- theory will enable you to use it, but I have heard of few if any success
- stories. I'm using MRBackup with my WangTek 150 megger and have had no
- problems with the included handler.
