- Hi,
- I'm trying to find out whether or not those tape backup units which use the
- floppy interface connectors will work under linux. My information has it that
- they don't require a device driver under DOS but only work with specific
- software which is hence probably doing the job of the driver.
-
- Does anyone know anything more, specifically whether they can be used under
- Linux without me having to write a device driver.
-
- The brand names that seem to occur most frequently are alloy and mountain.
-
- Thanks for any help
