I purchased a 150Mb Archive internal 1/4" cartridge tape drive, where I used to work.... It hasn't worked yet in 17 months!!!!!! My own personal biased opinion is to stick with Everex external cassette tape backups. ST

I'm not familiar with their 40mb unit, but the 60mb we have does support a "tape listing". Perhaps all that is needed is to identify the model number, and contact their tech support department for a software upgrade. MD -- -- Michael P. Deignan / "The Ozone Hole...
