You could try to acquire one of the new Imprimis 1.2 GB drives (or two in your case); I have not tried them. We have had as many as four devices on-line. You need to play with the mounts and disk tables, and should update NetInfo and the standard /etc tables both. scsimodes can also help; I believe that it is undocumented, though. -- Edward Jung The Deep Thought Group, L.P.
