I'm AIGH!! You people talking about SCSI tape drives are JUST doing it to torture those of us who are stuck with the A2090a controllers! You are SO cruel! So, that brings on a serious question: Has anyone managed to get the A2090a patched up so it can be used with a SCSI tape? I would be willing to pay for it, even! (I know, I could *pay* for a new controller, too. But I only have 1 SCSI drive, and 4 ST506. Another SCSI controller doesn't do me a whole lot of good, especially since I could hook up another 5 to this one, plus the tape drive.) Todd P.
