Just can't write lots of tapes fast enough. :-) Actually the thought is to get a couple of 7 or 9 bay SCSI boxes, put one CD-R, one 18G narrow HD, and 4 tapes in each. Then each box on its own SCSI card and bus. Don't know yet if we'll fill one box with 4mm, the other with 8mm, or split them up. Can always change our mind later. The sad thing is I've pretty much resigned myself to a narrow 18G HD as I can't get wide tape or CD-R and can't see buying 5 wide to narrow adapters (well, maybe at only $12 each). Or a wide to narrow terminator and breaking the SCSI cable. I don't think I have a bandwidth problem, so I fall back to a narrow HD. Then again, have been talking and talking and talking about this with the bosses for months. And nothing has been happening. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
