Bob, to handle single density drives you need a speed around 15-25 kb/sec, to handle high density drives at full speed, you have to double that speed… I think there is no way. But – who wants floppy streamers after all? SCSI streamers aren't THAT much more expensive these days and you will get at least 5 MB/min (85 kb/sec). With a DAT streamer the rate is even higher, about 10-15 MB/min (170-255 kb/sec). Martin Korndoerfer, Bavaria, Germany Also flying on AutoPilot
