   I agree with you completely.  Scsi is the ONLY way to go.  I have a CMS Jumbo
250 (I am looking to replace it).  What is the size of your tape drive?  (also, do
you need specific drivers for the drive, or do the drivers for your scsi card
handle everything?)  I am looking for a drive that handles 150-300 meg 
uncompressed.   How much was your drive?  (or can you recommend one for
me.  It doesn't need to be fast.)
