The tape silos that were manufactured used fast wide 3490e drives for instance, and could be hooked to escon and scsi at the same time, so that in a single machine room, one could have workstation servers and mainframes attached at the same time to the same silo. I looked at your link, which was interesting. The "Protronyx" reference in the post was a possible bit of information, but seems to be dead before the 1988 time stamp on the message that was referenced. I did not find any reference to that company to see what equipment environment they work in. I did find that the godaddy domain name thieves have "parked" the Protronyx.com domain for someone to trip over, and that was only done in may of 2005. You probably are right, however based on the streaming 125 ips transfer rate, which for pre 1988 scsi would have been a pretty interesting trick to pull off. The transfer rate would not have killed you off necessarily, but the inter command performance might have. Jim
