Hi
I looking to buy a scsi tape device for my RedHat 5.2 linux box
The scsi adapter is an Adaptec 2940.
All I would like to know is this:-
have any of you had a tape/DAT drive and had difficulties getting it to
work under linux or are all scsi tape/DAT drives pretty generic? I am on

a fairly tight budget so would rather get it right first time!

Any advice also on what is good kit for linux would also be really
appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me (and thanks to all of you
who have helped me before :) )
