Like CD burners, switching to different software can
turn a totally unreliable drive into one that works
perfectly. Often the manufacturer will have firmware
updates that fix problems and/or add features. >>

Retrospect liked the DDS drive, didn't seem to make a difference with the 
Exabyte drive (used it also on Windoze & *nix boxes...probably just the drive).  
Excellent point, tho.... even tho we don't have the "Patch-A-Day" problem as 
has MicroSoft, still it pays to check for updated drivers & incompatibilities.  

Excellent advice.
