Yes. Our just-announced SCO Unix 3.2 v2 has support for 3 different DAT drives and the Exabyte. I believe that the DAT drives are from Archive, Mountain and Tecmar. We also support CD-ROM in this release and have completely reworked the disk driver to speed it up (we are no longer recommending 3:1 interleaving with this release). Anyone who wants more information can contact their SCO Authorized Reseller, mail sco!info or look for the announcement on sosco. -- Roger Knopf SCO Consulting Services "The True Believers will...formulate uunet!sco!rogerk or rogerk@sco.com a message that even a monkey could 408-425-7222 (voice) 408-458-4227 (fax) understand." --Jeff Tye
