- It runs pretty nice on my hardware. I estimate it at about 5MB/minute on a
- Wantek 5150ES (150/250MB) SCSI tape drive with an Adaptec 1542B. I haven't
- turned on compression yet to see how much slower/faster that will run. Not
- sure what kind of drive you have, but with mine I never have to worry about
- formatting.
