has anyone ever set up a ide tape drive. How do I mount it... I have tried mount /dev/ht0 .. /dev/tape-d and that doesnt seem to work .. thyank you in advance for your help
 
I use a Colorado IDE Travan 14 Gb tape drive with the software called Taper. It works a treat. You dont need to mount the tape drive as the software autodetects it and sets itself up for you. Tapers is pretty good - it has a text based GUI also and a tree like structure display.
