I would like to put a voice on the "this would be useful" side.  I have
one of these, because it cost $80 and my DAT drive cost $1200.  I would
like to be able to use this drive with some form of Unix, because,
slow though it may be, it is a kind of media I can't otherwise support.

I don't care if it's stupid, it's better than no tape, and cheaper
than SCSI.
