To get the increased storage, this drive uses twice as many bits per inch. While it is possible to set this using the gdisk stuff (more info in), there is no way to set this using iv. Anyone know how to get AT&T to change this a little or want to deveolpe a driver for it? Another question - I remember hearing a while back that a group was working on a driver to get a tape back up system to work (one of the inexpensive ones that works through a floppy interface). If you were one of the people working on this or know anything about this project, please let me know. -darren ____ / \ | Rt 4, Box 416, Durham, NC 27703 _____|_____ Darren G.
