by These drives work perfectly with Linux and I have only a few left.
I have a few 525 Meg *COMPRESSED* Tandberg tape drives that I will give out
on a first come first serve basis. These drives go for $490.00 brand new. I
will give these drives away to anyone who wants one for $235.00. Just
think, now you can backup your entire system affordably and you can
sleep easily at night knowing that if you crash you *WON'T* burn.
*NOTE* These drives hold 525 Meg *COMPRESSED*. I routinely backup my
1 GIG drive on two DC6250 tapes (about 500 Meg per tape). If they
don't meet your needs for *ANY* reason whatsoever you can return the
drive *NO QUESTIONS ASKED*. Also, these drives come with FREE tape backup
software. (Ask me about other software I can give you for free as well when
you call).
These drives work perfectly with OS/2, Windows NT, Linux, BSD,
and other Unices for the PC.
These are internal 5 1/4" half height drives. They will work
with *ANY* SCSI controller. The drivers (i.e., ASPI managers) come with
your SCSI controller. The Tandbergs come with FREE Tape ARchive (TAR)
Backup software with which to perform backups in DOS. This Backup Software
can backup your entire system at 2:00 AM. It is so easy to use and self
explanatory that docs are virtually unnecessary (which is good because
these *DO NOT* come with docs). Each tape drive comes with complete
installation instructions (written by me) and each comes with usage
instructions. The drives are not *BRAND NEW*. They are slightly used
floor models. They are 100% guaranteed for 30 days.
If you get one and you don't like the way it matches your wallpaper
simply return it for you money back *NO QUESTIONS ASKED*!
S&H is $10.00.
I can take Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express for these. My
home phone number is (414) 629-1804. You can call me *ANYTIME* up until 2:00
AM seven days a week.
If you are going to pay by Credit Card call me *ANYTIME* at
my home: (414) 629-1804. If nobody is home you can leave your name
and a number that you can be reached at (and what time you want me to
call back) and I will call you back ASAP.
If you are going to pay with a check or money order:
In order to acquire a Tandberg make your payment or money order for
$245.00 ($235.00 + $10.00 S&H) payable to:
Dr. John V. Jaskolski
send it to:
Dr. John V. Jaskolski
6120 Hillcrest Drive
Allenton, WI

E-MAIL me confirming exactly what you want and in what quantity and
indicate how much money you sent in your payment.
Sincerely,

#Max Capacity: 525 Meg with Software compression
#Interface: SCSI, internal 64K buffer
#Rec. format: write - (DC6250/525Mb, DC6150/300Mb) w/ compression
# write - (DC6250/250Mb, DC6150/150Mb) w/o compression

# successfully tested with the following hardware/software
# configurations: OS/2 (2.0 and 2.1 beta), SUN 3/50, 3/60
# 1542B/SYTOS+ (DOS and OS2, using Archive 2150S, Wangtek
5150ES

# 1542B/NOVABACK (DOS and OS2), 1542B/ASPITAR (MSDOS port of
# GNUTAR), Future Domain 850/1660/SYTOS, Always
IN2000/NOVABACK
# Amiga (BTN driver), Quaterback, Mac (Fastback, Retrospect)
# XENIX, BSD386/FD, Apple IIGS using a CV Tech Ramfast card
