- Well, I must take exception to this flame. Having used Sytos Plus for OS/2
- with SCSI tape devices for several years, it is NOT a pile of crap. It runs
- fast, efficient (does not hog the CPU), and safe. Sytron is new to the floppy
- tape backup business (from their viewpoint, floppy tape is not an industrial
- strength system, so they took their time about supporting it, and basically
- waited for a tape drive vendor to step forward and ask for help. To be fair,
- I think that this is their uniform policy covering SCSI tape too), so lets not
- be too hasty. We are dealing with rev 1.0 drivers here after all.
