- Thats good news but its a little too late. I also talked to tech support at
- TEXEL and all they told me was sorry they couldn't help and good luck. I also
- talked to Sunsoft who told me they did not support the drive. After no help
- from either vendor I returned the drive and ate the $70 restocking charge. I
- have since then ordered a Toshiba drive that Sunsoft assured me would work
- with ISC 3.0.
-
- I am very unhappy with TEXEL tech support and will not be buying any more of
- there drives.
