My customers and I have always had good luck with Quantum's SuperLoader3 line of products.

Basically, anything that presents itself to the kernel as a /dev/sg device node that can be managed by the standard Linux
'mtx' utility will work. Same goes for the drives. AS long as they present themselves as /dev/stX device nodes, and the LInux
'mt' tool can work with them you will be fine.

Just remember to run the btape tests to get the best filesize and block sizes for your drive(s) to get the best performance.

Best regards,
Bill
