Mine has worked fine. The only trouble I had was when I tried to create a BuildDisk description to get a bootable cartridge. I got close, but was never happy with the results. As for "large-scale copying", I've had up to three separate "folder-drags" going simultaneously, for a total of about 15MB. A lot of rattling, but it eventually worked. You should check /usr/adm/messages to see if it is complaining about SCSI. -- Jim Wright jwright@cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.
