Nope, I doubt that very much. Because it has worked. It's a HP unit on a 
Adaptec 2940 UW controler, so I don't see a problem there either. I use 
a DLT on FC2 on the same type controler at home on one box, and two 
DDS-3 on also the same controler (also FC2) on another box. But these 
were already in the machine when I installed FC2.

Thanks for any help, Angelo
