That sounds fine to me.  What broke?  I'm having a little time off, and
have a TDC4200 (QIC), Archive Viper 525 (QIC), Exabyte 8200, and a Kennedy
6250bpi 1/2" reel to reel rack mount job, but I don't know if it works yet. ;-)
Oh, and I've got a couple other QIC drives of unknown health in the cupboard.
I could do a bit of testing after I get my hardware put back together.  I've
got a lot of upgrading and rebuilding scheduled.  I might even throw out
some of the stuff that no longer works! :-)

Stephen.

PS Anybody interested in getting FreeBSD working on old Mips hardware?
Say a Mips 3260?  Should be about as fast as a 486...
