You've also been asking for Syquest, so you've apparently got a SCSI controller. Why not use a Real Tape Drive instead of crap? Even an old Archive Viper 150 might be better than these ultra-cheap solutions. I think you could get a used one for a reasonable price. Or you could use a QIC-02 drives (QIC-24 or QIC-150, but with an external controller, made by Wangtek or Archive). I think they are in the region of $ 100 or so. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
