- I have a 3070, and I highly recommend you getting one for $325. That's a GREAT
- price. It does work with BRU, though I have not tried it under UNIX. I did
- try it under ADOS, but I ended up using BTNTape with gnutar to do backups.
- Then when I got AMIX, I have been using gnutar to go to ADOS, and cpio for
- my regular backups.
-
- I think they're still shipped on 150MB tapes, but if they are shipped on the
- 6250 250MB tapes, they still work on the 3070. That's what I use to do
- backups on my system. For $3-5 more for 100MB more, they work quite nicely.
