That's the thing though... I know from testing the same drive in another system that it is perfectly capable of sustaining the throughput my tape drive needs. I use a Compaq SDLT-320 drive that maxes out at 16 MB/s. My SCSI disk will do 30 MB/s and this drive should be capable of 28 MB/s. I'll keep digging for info. At the very least I'm learning a lot about Linux's IDE subsystem. ;) Thanks, Eric
