I've obtained one streamer tape drive,
Wangtek Model 5099EN24.
I have read that Linux can support it directly.
It's a SCSI device (at least the ones I've seen are). As long as you have
a SCSI card to plug it in to and the drivers for that, you shouldn't need
anything else. But then, I've never used one under DOS or Windows either.

This drive and controller combination used an MS-dos program called
SYTOS. There are many versions of this program, each for a
particular hardware setup. Used to be, you could get it from
Wangtek, or Everex (I think).
Of course, this is all pretty much obsolete now; somebody bound to
have a copy somewhere. I think FreeBSD also supports this
tape/controller combination.
