- Time to clarify, when you changed the disk to SCSI, did you replace
- the drive with SCSI or are you still on QIC? I've run all combinations,
- including both kinds of disks and tape at the same time, and had no
- problems with 2.1. I'm running a server with 2.2 using ESDI drive and
- SCSI tape, and that works, too.

- Last question, did this work before? I know that sounds like a dumb
- question, but it's not the type of thing you do all the time. At least I
- don't, only when I make certain backups.
-
- Dell support has been quite good for me, did you ask them?
