I have a WD 1006 controller and RLL drives (a combination with which I am pretty happy) but, alas, no tape backup. I see that Adaptec offers an ACB-4070 controller, which appears to handle RLL drives and provides a SCSI interface. If I switch, can I get a tape drive and my RLL drives to play? Are special UNIX drivers needed? What kind of experience do folk have with the ACB-4070 and ISC 2.0.2? What do I do for a floppy disk controller? Respond to me and I will summarize.

You still need a board for your PC to generate SCSI. Then you can connect a 4070 for your drives and a Adaptec 3xxx board to drive a raw cartridge tape (qic-32 interface). Howard C.
