Sysgen, Inc. is selling a SCSI tape drive called the TS250. I called their Technical Support, +1 408 263 1171, and talked to Andy about it's compatibility with SCO Unix. The word is that the TS250 *is* an Archive 2150S with some modifications to is SCSI adaptor software so that it can back up 250MB or 500MB of data. ( The 500MB unit some how combines two drives and when one fills up the next volume automaticly starts. ) DOES ANYONE currently use Sysgens drives or if I get one will I be a pioneer? ( I really hate running around in the jungle with a machete :-) ( Please *post* any discrepancys or errors found with this article. ) +-------- | Bill England | Stephen Software Systems, Inc., Tacoma Wa. | wengland@stephsf.com +1 206 564 2122 | * * H -> He +24Mev * * * ... Oooo, we're having so much fun making itty bitty suns * * *

BRU, a tape archiver, and the Chantal drivers will enable you to chain tape devices one after the other so you can use more than the two that SYSGEN offers, if you wish. -- Ed Whittemore uunet!maxed!ed American Micro Group 201 944 3293
