I have been working with them since version 1.2 or so, and they keep trying,
but all I want out of it is tar.  Right now with my version you can tar to
tape, but you can not get the data back.  At least I know my stuff is backed
up, but I can't get it if I accidently delete a file, :(.

Yeah, I had to get the Jumperless controller card to run the tape drive, but it
was due to having too many floppy drives and not enough support.  It, the card,
has worked flawlessly.  

I am running ISC 2.2, but I didn't have the same problem as Jay.  Mine
installed with no hitches.
