I recently swapped some old hardware for an Apple Tape Drive.  I
have heard that the apple software is slow, and maybe unreliable
under multifinder.  I understand that I could get much better
performance (and storage?) with Fastback, Retrospect or such.  I
seem to recall that Retrospect had special 'speed-ups' for the Apple tape.

I have Redux, but it doesn't seem to know about Tape Drives.

Does anyone have any recommendations?  Any further information about
the drive?  I don't want to spend $100 or $150 for nothing.

I'll be glad to summarize to the net...

Thanks,

Stuart
