Yep, you guys are 100% correct. I took a 29160 out of a server and 9.0 booted ok. Do you think they will notice the tape drive is now a book end ? ;-) I'll hook the tape up on the spare channel of another SCSI card in the server and hope that it will not interfere with the other devices. This Sony AIT SDX-400C does not like being on the same SCSI chain as any other device. When the SCSI bios loaded, either the AIT was in visible or all other devices where. I'm hoping that being on Channel B, this problem will not arise. (All this occurred on Windows 2000, and I'm not trying to get it running on Suse so you can rest easy) Regards Alan

Hi,

Danger, danger Will Roberson. Knowing my luck at the moment, I'll buy the one that does not work.

Any of these definately yes/no.

29160 gets a definite yes, I just checked a system that has it ;-)

I've used 29160 with many AMD64 systems and different SuSE Linux versions and it always worked great.

Note it's the same source driver for all of these...
