I've been using a Photon 20 for over six months now and am perfectly satisfied.
Well... I am now that I have the New Version of their software. They evidently
wrote their first SCSI driver themselves and though it worked "mostly" OK,
it wasn't very robust. In fact I went through a crash/reformat/restore
cycle about three times the week before I got the new driver. Also, the
drive came with virtually NO documentation originally. The Warp 9 people
told me was that they hired a consultant who specialized in SCSI drivers
to write the new one - he did, it works, and it comes with a manual.

The "good" version has "V2.0ext" written in pen on the back of the 
distribution diskette.

The Photon 20 has been boringly reliable since I replaced the driver.

Rick.
