SyQuest 44 Meg floppy drive under ESIX Rev. D or any i386 OS

[Jim Chandler]

I am looking into the problem of backing up my HD.  Does anyone run a
SyQuest SCSI drive on their 386 box.  Could I just treat it as a HD and
not mount it at boot time or do I need special drivers for that drive?
I have ESIX Rev. D and an Adaptec 1542A controller card.  My HD is a Miniscribe
9380S.  This would allow me to have another drive and I could back up my HD
44 Megs at a time using tar or cpio or apio or whatever program I wished.  Will
this work or is it a pipe dream.  For those who don't know what this drive is, 
it is a removable media drive similar to a Bournolli (nice spelling huh).  Any
other backup suggestions from the net.  I have looked into Archive and Wangtek
tape drives also.  Does anyone have these and do they like them.  I will 
summarize all my responses in about 7 days.
