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.
