Driver for Onstream ADR2.60 IDE

[Peter Elsner]

Short answer: No

Long answer: No, because OnStream isn't using a standard ATAPI driver for 
their IDE drives.

The make use of accessing the drive using very special commands in their 
proprietary backup
software.  Without the software the drive won't work.  I have already 
contacted On Stream about
this many times, (my boss insisted I get it working with FreeBSD), and to 
no avail, they will not
help me unless I'm running Windows.
