The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ: Getting and Installing Debian GNU/...
present, installing packages directly from tape is not supported. One can however, use tar, cpio, or afio to copy Debian archive files onto a tape, then copy them onto your local disk for installation. In the same vein, floppy disks containing "tar" files would have to be copied onto a local disk before they could be managed with the Debian package tools.

Can I use a tape drive with my PERQ?

FAQ for PERQ Graphics Workstations
Yes. You'll need an appropriate streaming tape drive (an Archive QIC-2 drive that uses DC-300 tapes; further specs for the required drive will be included in a later FAQ.) and, unless you have a Multibus board, you'll need to get out the wire-wrapping supplies and wrap your own board, assuming that you have a PERQ wire-wrap board that fits in the card cage. If you don't have such a board, you can always tap into the wire-wrap connectors on the PERQ's motherboard/backplane.

My tape drive has a compression function. What is it and should I use it?

NovaBACKUP - NovaBACK and NovaDISK Frequently Asked Question...
There are two types of compression that may be available during your backup: hardware and software. The hardware compression is enabled and disabled by either a DIPswitch or jumper on the tape drive. The software compression is enabled and disabled through the Options panel within NovaBACKUP. We recommend that you disable any software compression if you have hardware compression available. Hardware compression is far superior in speed and compression than the software counterpart.

How do I get my IDE/ATAPI tape drive working?

Linux FAQ
Ide ATAPI tape drives work with Linux using scsi-emulation -- forget about using the ide-tape module. Most kernels out of the box do not have scsi-emulation set up since it conflicts with other tape drive support. You have to configure and compile a kernel with a particular group of seemingly un-related things turned on and others turned off. It does work and work well *IF* you get it right. Thanks to a posting by Timothy Moore (timothymoore@bigfoot.

Why is there no tape drive on RED?

frequently asked questions
Tape drives compress the image, data is lost in the process as the camera needs to encode the data before it gets stored on the tape. In addition having to capture the tapes into the edit system has to be done in real time, so 6 hours of rushes would take 6 hours to digitize in. A tapeless system offers faster access to the footage as its already digitized plus the image is of higher quality because more data can be stored on the disk.

How do I install a Zip drive?

Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25
The main Zip installation step is plugging it in. The drive uses DB-25 connectors and, so, most likely, the cable will plug directly into your interface card with no need for an adapter. In case you need an adapter for an older 50-pin plug, these can be obtained from Alltech. If you already have other SCSI devices, the one currently plugged into the interface can plug into the Zip. Or, the Zip can be plugged into a hard disk, CD-ROM, etc. at any point in the chain of SCSI devices.

What CD drive can I install in my Pa1X?

Pa1X FAQ
The only certified CD drive is the Korg CDRW-1. Other drives may work, but are not certified by Korg and are not recommended. Please keep in mind the following considerations: The CD mechanism's size may differ to the one used by Korg, and may result very difficult or impossible to fix to the CD slot on the Pa1X. As a consequence, moving the Pa1X may result in the CD player/writer moving from its position, and eventually cause the connector's breaking.

When can I drive?

Cardiovascular of Southern Nevada - FAQs
Generally speaking, we do not want anyone to drive until approximately 30 days after surgery, just to let you get over some of the soreness from surgery without depending on your reaction time while turning the steering wheel or having to brake. Sometimes people can start driving earlier, but we certainly do not want patients who are on narcotics or pain pills to drive. We suggest when you start to drive, you drive in an area that is very quiet so you can get your "driving legs" back.
