As Chris mentioned the ftape HOWTO is an excellent resource for floppy
controller type QIC drives. Other possibilities are:
SCSI DAT drives - more expensive up front but more economical from the
media standpoint compared to TRAVAN.
True IDE type tape drives such as the HP 8 or 5gig are plug it in and
go.
Front end software - BRU 2000 personal edition is worth looking at, is
included in a number of commercial distro's such as RedHat and Caldera -
don't know about SUSE.
