I have a 3B2/400 computer running Unix System V 3.2, with a SCSI card...

I have noticed the following disks:
SCSI Host Adaptor Utilities   - Seems A-OK
SCSI Cartridge Tape Utilities - Totally gone, it's TOAST..

    I am right now thinking about re-partitioning my 
drives, and backing up to SCSI TAPE for doing the 
restore...  If I do this, will the 3B2/400 be able to 
access my SCSI 60 Meg Cartridge tape unit?

    I think the answer is no, and that if I attempt this, I 
can kiss my SCSI tape drive goodbye forever!  Which would 
not make my day..

    Also, one of my manuals mentions another disk called 
AT&T 3B2 SCSI Disk Controller Utilities is needed in order 
to make a SCSI hard disk work on this machine...  The 
book's olde and is probably for UNIX Rel 3.0..  Does this 
apply to Release 3.2???

   Talking with AT&T, they tell me I need Network Support 
Utilities to make the SCSI card work??  I am asking for a 
second opinion on this on???  It seems rather 'strange' to 
require a NETWORKING disk to make SCSI function??

   I am also DESPERATE for a StarLan (1Megabit) MS-DOS 
Client Diskette...  That's all I need to FINALLY make 
starlan work here...!! 

Any help would be greatly be appreciated...

Cheers.......
