Not on the 2090's though, I'm told it can't >never happen. ^^^^^ ever (sp) From looking at the 1.3 manuals, and mention of scsi.device, it seems that C-A is going to support talking to any device on the scsi bus if you know it's id#. In exactly that way, it would be easy to hook up a scsi QIC tape drive and backup onto it, if the software was there, right? I would not be so quick to say never. At least the scsi part of the 2090 is well documented.
