I know almost nothing about Novell networks, so if this question is
truly naive, I apologize. I have an IBM 6157-002 streaming tape drive
(it's a 150 MB external unit that uses an MCA controller card) that I
would like to sell to someone here on campus that is installing a Novell
network. He doesn't want to buy, because this unit is apparently not
supported by Novell.
Is there any way around this? Is this unit just a repackaged version of
some other tape drive that is supported, for example? Have any of you
Novell gurus used an IBM 6157 tape drive? Is there any hope of my being
able to unload this sucker?
Thanks in advance. Please reply by email, as I don't regularly read this
group. If anybody else has an interest in the answer to this, let me
know, and I'll forward what I find out.
