AFAIK they need special support, so what > OS version do I need to run them? They're not supported, yet. People are supposedly working on getting them working, but it's unclear as to when the support will materialize. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say that some kind of support will exist by December or so, and possibly earlier. [ This is not an official statement -- or even an unofficial one. I've got very little contact with the people working on the drivers, but I, too, need some kind of SCSI OnStream support. I can wait until the end of the year or so; if something doesn't happen by then, I may take a stab at some kind of SC30 (but not SC50) support. Or, I may not, depending on how much time I have. ] -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
