There lies a small problem. With Xenix 2.2.4, the Tandy release with SCSI support, the new Adaptec 154xB controller doesn't work out of the crate. Have had a few discussions with Adaptec, SCO, Tandy and the local Nix wizards, and the result is a forced upgrade to 2.3.2. Hope that either SCO or Adaptec will release a driver for the beastie before long. I've heard it is even better at it's job than the A model... -- Tim Bowser ("Strikemaster") | Standard | mailrus!sharkey!clmqt!strike Enterprise Information System | Disclaimer | strike@clmqt.marquette.Mi.US Marquette, Mi.
