FreeBSD support for TH8BG-YF ?

[Sheldon Hearn]

Hi folks,

Can anyone confirm that RELENG_4 will support a TH8BG-YF Quantum DLT
8000 LVD tape drive?

I know, I know.  If it's standards-compliant, it should be supported. 
As a consumer, I have no way of knowing about its standards compliance.
:-)

I haven't had good luck with FreeBSD and tape support yet, so I thought
I'd check before we buy the equipment, this time.  If nobody van vouch
for this thing, perhaps someone could recommend something that's
actually available at the moment.  Most of the stuff I get positive hits
for from archived mail is out of production.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
