| I'm putting a new backup tape called the IOMEGA REV (35Gb/90Gb) $375 on a 
| linux box , upgrading from a seagate tranvan 10/20gb, I finally make it 
| being recognized by the linux box and the edgebackup, Do you know what 
| settings should I put on the device ?

It's NOT a tape.  It's a hard drive.
