Well, my battle with the WD 8013 has been fought
for weeks, and won (I'll be posting more on that
shortly - accumulated about 20 pages of good 
information from the net).

Now, since the system is within shot of coming up
(if I can figure out how to allow non-console
telnet logins) - I have to start thinking about
backups.  

Here is a REAL shot in the dark.  I have a Teac
Mechanism 160 MB streaming tape drive which has
been used with a MAC for several years via the 
SCSI port.  Since I also have a Adaptek 1542B
board running the HD on the 386 box, I wonder if
by any chance anyone might have suggestions about
using the tape drive?  It's an MT2ST/N50, revision
B (I need to get the revision E board because it 
implements a timing fix...)

THANKS!
