Thanks for your reply. I am using a Syquest Ez 135 (135 MByte SCSI)
removable and an aha152x SCSI adapter. My two Main drives are EIDE (1.6
GByte ea). The idea is to keep a minimal bootable linux system on the
Syquest to be able to copy it to the first EIDE in case of OS problems.
Certainly would appreciate your methods. Perhaps they are adaptable to
the situation.
