Yeah, well... :-)
I'm told that these hold 20G on a tape.
"hold" being a pretty loose definition when it comes to a lot of
high-capacity tape technologies, of course :-) There was some real junk out

get 'em going under linux? :-)
If they're SCSI and appear as a sequential-access device, I'd say chances
are pretty good.
