[Duo2400] Re: 2400c problem/question

[J & HH]

Thank you very much for the advice.

I'm not very familiar with the SCSI mode but it sounds like it might be
risky with the drive I am working with.

I've contemplated removing the drive but as I'm currently on vacation, I
don't have the tools necessary to be able to do the job correctly.

I'll keep knocking my brain and see what I can come up with.

Thanks again

Jason
