Hi,
Has anyone used an HPE StorageWorks DAT 40 USB Tape Drive on a Mac / PC /
Linux as a "standard" tape drive (i.e., I want to be able to "dd"
from one,
not use some HP provided backup package). (I have no interest in writing
to tapes, BTW)
I'd prefer reading the tapes on a Mac, but if Linux/Win is needed, I'm
hoping I can use a virtual one :)
I haven't tried it, as I don't have any USB DDS drives, but Linux should
handle one, as the protocol is pretty much SCSI wrapped in USB messaging.
FWIW,
