Martin,

Thanks for the offer and I will definately keep you in mind but the 
addition of any cards to the server I have needs a manual config of the 
bios and while not particularly difficult I would like to keep it as 
simle as possible ... well if you call finding a hen's tooth simple.

By the way, how much did you pay for the card?  I went looking the other 
day as I could have borrowed a  scsi tape drive from work as well to do 
my backups using an existing box.

Cheers,

Scott.
