  I borrowed a Archive Viper 150 tape drive from work, plugged it into
my 3000 and used the WB 2.0 supplied backup software (BRU?).  Every
thing worked fine after I tweaked a few parameters in the tape software.

  So, the question on everyones mind is;  Does the Maxtor 340 do 
reselection?  Does it fit in the 3000?  Inquiring minds looking for 
larger hard drives want to know.  :-)
