If we can find a dedicated machine somewhere, we could run a realaudio server on it, or does the software cost a lot? How hard is it to get linux to back up on a colorado 3.2 internal, ide tape drive? I never found an idetape driver. I was told I can use my floppy drive while I'm using the tape drive, what do I have to do under debian to work it? Do I just mount it, I was told I could, which device name will it get, and if it needs a new one which MAKEDEV command would I use?
