I  have  a hard disk system that uses an ICD advantage plus host board
and would like to add a tape streamer to the system. The first problem
is, that I would require  streamer  software  etc.  ICD  produce  some
software but I do not know how good this is, how I could obtain it, or
how much it costs. The second problem is, what tape steamers does this
or any other software recognise? (A SCSI device would be prefered.) If
not  a  SCSI  device  what  type  of  device is it (so I can arrange a
suitable SCSI->XXXX board.)

I know about the existance of removerable hard disk systems but in our
experiance  these  are  not  as  reliable and have a much higher media
cost.

Any help is welcome.

Many Thanks,

Dave Halliday
