Thanks. I was aware of that Mike. My SCSI drive on the Server was
abending and I could tell the problem was with the drive, so I wanted
to intall the EIDE in the server and copy all the files into it and
send the SCSI back for repair... But I was able to install the EIDE
last night and everything is OK... I don't have much workstations
attached to the server anyway, just about 4 PCs and they are mostly
idle most of the time, so speed is not that of a concerned, as long
as I can do the backup from a workstation that has a HP DAT tape
drive attached to it without abending.... Thanks for you input.
