    I'm currently using a 5125EN - uses 6150's and 6250's - I'm using Sytos
for OS/2 and its a PILE - it sucks up so much CPU time, i can usut about forget
using the system while a backup is going on - anyways - Sytos does work - at
least for me, the old 1.x version does - I ahve a freind of mine who has a
Tecmar DATavauld, on an adaptec 1542b, but he can't get the 16 bit version of
sytos to work with it - he's waiting for the 32 bit version -
