Howdy netlanders.... I've just about decided to buy a Wangtek 5150ES tape backup, when I saw a very good price for a Wangtek model 5150PK. Now I'm confused... Does anyone know what the different Wangtek model numbers mean? 5150ES 5150EQ 5150PK Is there any one of the three (or perhaps more) models that would be best suited for ISC 2.02? Emmet P.

I don't know what the ES is. -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG

In ISC 2.02 you have drivers for the 5150PK (kconfig, configure Kernel, add driver), but I heard that's also possible to use the 5150ES on an Adaptec SCSI-Controller -- "Suddenly there comes a blinding flash....and then comes OSCAR !"
