I want to use Corel Raid for OS/2, and connect 2 seagate 12550N disks to them, and mirror the disks. I also want to connect an exabyte tape drive to the controller and back up the disks to the tape drive. Will Corel RAid for OS/2 do the job? If not, what do I need to do the job? What would be the impact on performance if the exabyte tape drive is a scsi 1 device. I am planning to use a DPT smartcache 3 EISA SCSI controller to plug all these devices into (8 megabytes RAM on the board). Will Corel RAID make effective use of the cacheing DPT SCSI card? I want a REAL fast disk system, with the security of mirrored disks. Am I going in the right direction by examining Corel Raid for OS/2? Thanks Andrew Stuart

Merv, Corel RAID is a Netware product only. I hope this helps. Laszlo

Laszlo, Thanks for your reply regarding Corel RAID. PC Magazine september 28 1993 says ""Both products work with ASPI based host adapters and can be used with DOS, Windows, OS/2 and Netware." I took this to mean that Corel Raid is available on each of these platforms, but now that I go back and read the end of the article, it says "requires netware 3.11". Poor wording on PC Magazines part, and poor reading on mine. thanks for you reply. Andrew

Merv, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. Sorry 'bout that. For future reference; CorelSCSI version 2.0 will support DOS, Windows, and OS/2 for (RW, MF, WORM, CD, TAPE, SCANNERs, PRINTERS and CD ROM RECORDERS.) Corel Network manager will support Netware for (RW, MF, WORM, CD, JUKEBOX, RAID) I hope this helps. Laszlo
