The quirks are things like tape drives that do not like some mode pages, or require the switch to a certain mode page before a particular operation is started etc. What problems do you have with the Viper? I've been using it for years without trouble (and i've only been replacing it since somebody else couldn't use the Tandberg i'm using now, but had a better chance on the Archive). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
