The responses mostly tell me that the drive should work with our existing
device definitions
I'll find out when the drive arrives....
 
Thanks

We just picked up a used 15/30gb compaq DLT tape drive. The price was
excellent ($200.00) so we
went with it. It's an external model single drive (not that should make any
difference).

This can be used as a regular tape backup? We currently have 7/14 8mm
Exabyte. I was hoping to
swap out the 8mm, and swap in the 15/30 drive (both are external). Aside
from rebooting, that's all
that should need to be done?

Do I need to create any new devices for it?

currently we are using a /dev/rmt0a & /dev/rmt0h

Thanks
George
