Hi, I have a PWS 550au with a (standard?) QLogic ISP1020 card. I have now tried to attach an old Exabyte 8200 to the this host adapter and had several kernel panics. After some search I finally discovered that the qlogic card "does not support disconnect/ reconnect, which makes using it with tape drives impractical." (Quote from the kernels README.qlogicisp) So I am looking to replace/add another scsi host adapter to my box which will support tape drives better. Are there any recommendations for which card I should get? Also would you recommend adding another card just for the tape or to completely replace the qlogic card? Thanks, Andrew
