Is the 970kb/sec a calculated or actual bench?  If a bench, under DOS or
Xenix?

I have a 60 megs streamer also - and am considering adding a SCSI tape
(Archive 2150 I believe) to the SCSI smart host adapter (Adaptec 1542).
In theory, I should be able to back up the SCSI drives using the SCSI tape
without the data even hitting the buss of the machine.
