Unfortunately, my floppy tape drive is on the 486/66 OS/2 LAN server, and I'm not even going to try moving it to to the 386 -- darn thing can barely keep up on the 486. So plan "B" is my SCSI zip drive, will it work as a generic SCSI disk? I'm regenning SCSI disk support back into the system as speak, is there anything else I need to do. -- Internet: ahd@kew.com Voice: 617-279-9812 Don't let it happen to you, get your shots for Windows NT today . . .
