And after I went to all the trouble of verifying my information with the Support and Engineering "tape leads". :-( We haven't seen one here, though. I passed this information back to the appropriate people. (Parenthetical comment: this is a good example of why you can't be ego-involved and good with software. Somehow, reality will keep slapping you in the face.) What I said still stands, though: unless IBM has simply re-packaged a tape controller card which we currently support (why do I think this unlikely?) you won't be able to use it with an SCO operating system. Since no-one's ever heard of this card, I don't think that there's been a decision yet on whether we'll write a driver. - Paul Zola Software Support Engineer paulz@sco.COM Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose. - Emily Saliers DISCLAIMER: I speak for myself, and not for SCO.
