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...
