Hello, I just got a TP755CX with 24MB ram and 810MB HD. I am planning to repartition the HD and install Linux on it in a different partition, so I need to back up all the data first. I want to buy a tape back up which will eventually work on all DOS/OS2/Windows as well as Linux environment. Anyone have any recommendation on what to buy? If I am not mistaken, Linux does not support tape drive on parallel port, so the low cost parallel port tape back up is out of the question. I know I can get tape back up running on floppy controller, but I am not exactly sure how am I go to make it work with a notebook even though the floppy drive is removeable. So the the last option is through the PCMCIA SCSI adaptor with a SCSI tape drive. Can anyone tell me if I am right or wrong? If I am to go for a PCMCIA solution, any recommendation of the adaptors and tape drives? Thanks in advance. -William Ng
