Hi,
   I just bought a Colorado Jumbo 120 tape drive, which is a QIC 40 unit. I
was under the impression that this drive would work with SCO 3.2.2, since
3.2.2 supports QIC 40 and QIC 80 drives. Not so. I just spoke with
Colorado's tech support, and the fellow told me that no, SCO UNIX does
not support this drive, but SCO is working on the problem and an update will be
released in the form of an SLS.  He also said that the SLS is currently in
beta test.

Have any of you had success with this type of drive? Do you think I should
wait on the SLS or spend $99 on Colorado's own backup/restore software for SCO?

I would prefer to have the unit work with standard UNIX commands, like
'tape' etc.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
