- As the proud owner of an ST01, my advice is:
- Spend the extra bucks to get a real controller!
-
- I tried to plug a Wang SCSI tape drive into it last night, but the
- ST01 only talks to hard drives (and probably Seagate ones at that).
- Also, the nicer cards give a lot better performance.
-
- Don't get me wrong, the ST01 is completely function (for what it
- does), but I think that in the long run you will be disappointed.
