I have just installed a 0222 current on a HP Kayak XU800. This is one of the latest models. I'm experiencing problems with the builtin SCSI adapter AIC-7892. It could be BIOS/firmware related, a regular Adaptec works just fine. A detailed report will follow once I have sorted out these issues. > How about the HP Surestore DAT 12/24? Can recommend. I'm running a DAT40i (that's the 40GB drive, native 20GB DAT4). No problems with FreeBSD 3.2 and 3.3. Just bear in mind to use the proper tapes (DATn tapes for DATn density) for whatever purpose you have in mind. Some people have *very* bad experience with helical scan drives in general. If you have time to wait, perhaps one of the upcoming tape technologies (LTO) could be a better choice. Joerg -- Joerg B.
