Lonni, I never had the desire to look into this "raid with tape" idea... But I do know that it works on some controllers just fine. At work we've still got a couple of old... x brand servers running xenix, each with one ami raid controller, two hard drives and one tape attached. I've had them open only as far as replacing floppy drives and noted the single scsi controller. Also just trash picked one for parting out... Same setup. It apparently works.
