-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I finnally solved my SCSI problems and got it working... since I posted here I thought I would share how I did it. This was soooo stupid... I went into the main BIOS just for "Shits and Giggles" and noticed a "Plug N Pray" area (i forget the actual name) where it lists all of the IRQs and has a value fo reach mine were all set the same... I set IRQ 10 (the one I was using) to Legacy ISA and it worked! none of my other ISA cards have a problem with it...this one does...go figure... in any case it works...and I think I just sucessfully performed a backup onto tape I just did "tar cf /dev/st0 /" I got errors when it got to /proc but other than that it worked fine... next time I will exclude /proc (and /tmp now that I think of it and a few others... like /var/run ..hmmm...maybe others when i think of them) in any case..it seems to have worked now...anyone else been using tape drives for backups? any good backup systems/scripts to share? :) im open to suggestions (I only have 2 tapes but...they are 4 gig (uncompressed) each...and my hard drive is only 3.2 gig so.... any suggestions? :) - -Steve
