I don't like the combination of:

"every once in a while the drive hangs up,..."
"...no idea about data security..."

AT least this gives ME an idea of HIS security :-) Well... since I
started a similar thread in which I didn't like my SCSI-card and ZIP-
drive combination...

...anyone a SCSI-ZIP-drive... and... a powertec SCSI-2 card :-)
