  After asking for "references" from apx. half a dozen vendors (won't buy
  3rd party stuff any other way anymore; been burned too often), we ended
  up with a dual-drive unit from Aviv.  It works fine, tho so far we have
  been able to use it with only one drive active at a time.  Not particu-
  larly fast, but see recent postings on the net on THAT subject  ( THAT =
  dump, rdump, etc performance ).
