Everything went smooth and all is working great. I have an Exabyte EXB-8505XL SCSI tape drive I would like to use for backup. Mandrake sees and configures the Adaptec SCSI card fine but not the tape drive. The Exabyte website does not have Linux drivers for this device and I don't see it in the hardware compatability list on the Mandrake site. Any recomendations on how to configure and use this device or am I just out of luck on this? Thanks in advance for your help. Steve
