I have just used it to back my drive up, and I am please to say that version 1.1 (which is the most recent version) works at least as well as advertised. While this does not get a native *BSD driver for the tapes written, it does allow us to at leat back up the hard drive while we get it going. The program is available from ftp.uni-duisberg.de (I think). I have put version 1.1 up for anonymous FTP here in the pub directory. It is called rawdsk11.zip and is a DOS zip file. -- ------ TSgt Dave Burgess NCOIC AL/Management Information Systems Office Brooks AFB, TX
