I think some of the people discussing QIC were referring to the "full size" models. TR4 is a Travan "miniQIC" format which traditionally are not as robust as the "full size" models, although I believe this has changed for some models. Unfortunately, when the miniQIC is mentioned, most people think of the old Colorado Jumbo series which were not known for their reliability. I have several on a shelf with burnt out stepper drivers. I hope that some of these newer, SCSI based drives are more robust. ====================================== When philosophy conflicts with reality, choose reality.
