Yea, near as I can tell (without ripping my 2000 apart, which I'll probably have to do anyway) I have 3.7. Time for a few phone calls. Thanks for your help. regards, greg

Well, I learned some interesting things during the past couple of days about my GVP and 3070….it wasn't working quite as well as I thought. While it seems to write everything I throw at it, it gets confused when it gets to the end of the tape and starts it's second pass during the read. Not too useful, huh? I tried this with both the BTN tape handler and the DTapeHandler. There are two possibilities open to me…either get the GVP TapeStore software, or wait for Quarterback 5.0. I'm waiting for Quarterback. Steve

Hmmmmm. Curiouser and curiouser. Well, I just ordered the upgrade ROM and am waiting. Probably just as well, I tore apart my 2000 and discovered that the FASTROM I have is only version 3.07. This may help solve some other SCSI inconsistencies I've seen (like my quantum hanging for no good reason).. Let me know how it goes. I am obviously interested. regards, greg
