[ale] Status of SAS tape support?

[Ned Williams]

Don't be too surprised you can't even buy lvd anymore from dell corp reps
without jumping through hoops, sas is a smaller interface and a cheaper
cable....I seem to recall sun started following along last year. While I
have no idea what the current gen rs6000/ppc is using as its favored
interface these days it wouldn't shock me if they have switched as well.

Good luck

All,

I'm looking to buy a lto4 tape drive.  Surprised to see sas seems to
be the dominate interface for these drives.

Is there a faq about linux / sas / tape drives I can educate myself from?
