Tried to reply, but your news reader provides a broken return address.


   I am having trouble mounting my Colorado 700 external tape backup to my 
   Linux box.  (It is connected to the parallel port.)
   Has anyone successfully done this or have any ideas how to mount the tape 
   drive?

Parallel port tapes have proprietary software interfaces and noone 
as yet was able to write a driver for them; they don't work under Linux.
