Does anybody have experience using these with uport or SCO? Are there any drivers for them (commercial or PD)? I have an application for lots of almost-random access on-line data (writing a bunch of files and then some index information at the end and being able to update the indexes). It requires removable media, so a fixed disk is out. Please email. Thanks for any help. -- David Beckemeyer | "To understand ranch lingo all yuh Beckemeyer Development Tools | have to do is to know in advance what 478 Santa Clara Ave, Oakland, CA 94610 | the other feller means an' then pay UUCP: ...!ihnp4!hoptoad!bdt!david | no attention to what he says"
