I have been having trouble (corrupted files) with a 1542B SCSI interface on a
386 system, and have two options: I have an EIDE 2GB drive I can substitute,
or I can get my hands on an Adaptec AHA-1522A SCSI-2 host adapter. I am also
going to add a tape drive for backup.

Is the 1522A supported, and if so, am I likely to experience any problems using
it with a 4GB tape drive (Conner MS4000MI)? If so, or if I decide to install 
the EIDE drive, then I would also install a 3.2 GB (compressed) tape drive,
also from Conner, using the floppy interface. Would I need any special driver
software in order to utilize the compression (3.2GB) mode?


Thanks for your time and effort,
