You are now pretty close to being a Mac+ (I was what you are except that I
started with a 512).  I then bought a Rodime drive and used FastBack (their
backup program that comes with their drive) to back it up.  CRUNCH!  FastBack
ate the Rodime and the other SCSI drive online at the time.  They were mostly
brought back with SUM, but I was more than a little upset.  Rodime said it
was a compatabilty problem with FastBack and the Dove SCSI port, and then
the dealer said that there was a compatability problem between Rodime drives
(turns out that it is ANY drive with Rodime internals, like Jasmine to name
another one) and Dove.  Before my little mishap I used a Warp 9 Photon 20 and
FastBack and had no problems.  The only thing it could be was the Rodime, the
Dove SCSI port and FastBack all at the same time.
	
I would like to say, however, that everything was fine before the Rodime, so
as long as you stay away from Rodime drives you should be pretty safe with
your new "Mac+".
I hope this keeps you out of any trouble/data loss.
