Only two of the ones I tried supported my drive. Neither were very good (poor
setup, poor catalogue management, etc.) and neither could perform multi-tape
backups.

Quote where I specifically said they were.
 EG> "testing" except reading the drives supported on the back of the

I personally tested all but 3 of the ones I came across. It's hardly worth
trying if the readme specifically tells me that it will only work with one
type of drive.
