As secondary storage AND off-line backup???? This question (and all the others I've seen really belong on the -questions list, Jerry. I saw your earlier post about this, but you didn't describe the drive at all. I have a similar drive, an Iomega Zip drive, and it works fine with my Adaptec 1542. The only trick is getting a correct entry in the /etc/disktab file for your device, so it can format and newfs correctly. Justin Gibbs figured mine out for me, and it works great! ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
