A friend of mine owns a small campground business and I am working on a new
build for him. He wanted a machine strictly for office apps and reservation
software and he wanted it cheap so I've put together a small Asus A7N266 board
with a 2000XP.
Now he would like me to install a SCSI controller card and a tape drive, that he
used previously, to use for backup purposes. XP took the controller card just
fine and I'm researching the software for the tape drive but it seems to me that
this hardware is not the best choice for his desires.
Now I don't know squat about scsi tape drives but it seems that an external USB
hard drive would be a much faster and more reliable choice. Can anyone help to
educate me on this?
I don't want to bad mouth his choice of equipment but I do have some
reservations about using this stuff with XP and he wants XP on all of his
computers in the office.
Thanks, Ed
