You will NEVER successfully run a Max drive on a 486 ANY-Mhz under Linux. Especially on a DX-2 66! In fact, it's highly likely that the Max won't run succcessfully 100% of the time on less than a 166MHz Pentium. I know - I did the original code for the Max. C'mon Folks - you can get a real tape drive for less that $200 now (Seagate TR-4 ATAPI 4/8GB) - why do we keep playing with this nightmare of a tape drive? Even Iomega finally dropped it. -- Tim Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vice President Visit our tape backup web pages: Enhanced Software Technologies, Inc. http://www.estinc.com/
