I am going to be constructing a system with 7 HP C1599A 4mm DAT drives, 2 2940U SCSI cards, and 1 Seagate ST34572 HD and 1 Plextor 12/20x CD-ROM. The DATs will all be on one card and the HD & CD-ROM will be on the other SCSI card. This system will be used to make tape copies which will be released to the U.S. Navy Fleet, so system stability is an absolute must. Does anyone see a problem with the above setup? The 7 DATs will be in an external case using Granite Digial Teflon SCSI cables and terminators. I spared no expense with cables and terminators. Which Kernel/SCSI rev. is the most stable in terms of SCSI drivers? This system has to be rock solid. All 7 DAT will be used at once so the SCSI bus will be QUITE busy. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. The system will be running Red Hat 5.0. Derek L.
