Yes, but I really need a quick fix on this. We do have 10Mb devices we can't
upgrade / do without, and I'm far too lazy to re-wire our network so as to
isolate them ;).

see previous answer. Dependencies make life complicated - particularly from the
disaster recovery point of view - if I really do have a disaster, I want to be
able to walk in with my tapes and restore them on the boot strap OS provided by
the DR company - not try to work out where the media for the backup program is,
and make sure that its up to date etc.
For the record, so far I've managed to find:
www.zero-d.com
www.firststorage.com
which are both have UK offices
or
www.raidtec.com
