I'll drink to that. I have never gotten my Colorado Jumbo 350 to work under FreeBSD (I'm up to 2.1R now), yet others apparently use them for backups regularly. I'm baffled, but no longer frustrated since I borrowed a SCSI tape drive. DOS backups are still done on the Colorado since I have no DOS SCSI tape backup software (and because the price/performance on the Colorado is so much better). Mike O'Brien
