I recently got given a Christie TS5800 Tape Drive and I want to install it on my PC (running Windows XP Home SP3).I've got the leads and connected it to the parallel port and powered it up, but being spoilt by plug and play I'm not getting the PC to recognise it. What software do I need to install to use it, drivers and back-up app etc.?Would something like Syncback Freeware version do for the backup?My plan is to use it to store files from my security cam. I use a wireless cam to a ZTV reciever and run Debut Video Capture Software by NCH. At present I delete the older files when the disk gets too full. I know nothing about tape drive installation, as you can see! Any help would be much appreciated.Kind regards, Nige. East Anglia, UK.

I currently have an internal DLT IV 40/80, and I'm looking to replace it with something a bit bigger, preferably at least 100/200gb. Backup speed is not as important as reliability.
I don't have anything specific in mind, I'm looking for suggestions, trying to get an idea what's out there.
What do people think about LTO vs DLT, internal vs external, etc. What brands are reliable? Any products I should avoid? What about Autoloaders?

I'm contemplating purchasing an external tape drive. My Mac only has USB1, so I'd definitely want Firewire. The only readily available option seems to be the Lacie d2, which is available in 35 or 50G AIT1/2 formats. Has anyone used either of these drives, or can suggest any other products?
