Hi, Harvey Norman have the above drive for $99.  I'm considering getting 
one and wonder if it works ok with Linux.  

Also, when backing up a partition too big for one tape, will tar prompt 
for another tape or just stop?

Another possibility is to get the Exabyte Eagle 96 (3.2 GB compressed)
for around $370.  Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks a lot,
Peter.
