ot... at it again scsi tape drive in windows 95

I don't think so ... I've been using Exabyte drives for about 12 years now and while I've had a few of them break over the years, I've never had an incident of wierd or unpredictable behavior of any sort. I've had a few read errors, and with over 250 drives "out there" being used every day, I've had no complaints about performance or reliability. What's more, I'm not silly enough to rely on experience drawn from only one manufacturer's product. I've tried the various Win9x backup programs with drives from Tandberg, Wangtek, Seagate, Iomega, Sony, Archive, and a few others I can't recall at the moment. I've also tried devices other than tape. I've tried Worm drives ... but nothing seems to work particularly well with Win9x. The MITechie should probably have stopped smoking that rope long enough to straighten out for a moment and read the documentation that comes with the drives. Had he done so, he'd have known about the extensive and verbose error reporting that's available and the thorough test and verification procedures the mfg. provides.
