<DIV><FONT size=3>Hi Dave,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Thanks for the info I vary much appreciated it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>I've been reading: The Book of SCSI </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>A Guide for Adventures. By Peter M. Ridge</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Published by No Starch Press. Distributed by Publishers Group West. First publish date was 1995 last 1999.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>ISBN: 1-886411-02-6 Cost: $34.95 Its a little dated but it has all the info I need for the dated hardware I'm using anyway. I bought it through eBay and won it for .49 cents plus S/H No CD but plenty of information and resources to info and software from the Internet. So with it and the help from the Lug I surely will get the system (s) up and running. </FONT></DIV>
