I have a TP755CX with a Dock II. I have used a HP1533A in an external box with both the Adaptech controller in the Dock II and with an IBM PCMCIA SCSI card. These both work fine under OS/2 with software called BakupWiz. I have not used the tape under any OS other than OS/2. The IBM PCMCIA SCSI card is basically a Future Domain controller. It comes with DOS/Win drivers (PowerSCSI) and OS/2 drivers. I have used it with the tape and with a CD-ROM under both DOS/Win and OS/2 when the card was plugged into both the internal PCMCIA slots and the PCMCIA slots in an IBM port replicator. The HP1533A is quite fast and holds 4GB on a DDS-2 tape. It faster on some Pentium desktops with PCI bus SCSI controllers (HP Vectra XU) but is still quite speedy on my 755CX (about 28 Meg/minute off the 810 M or 1.2 G internal TP drives). At some point I plan to install a SCSI drive in the Dock and I expect it might dump a bit faster? The drive will compress things so you can put lots on a tape. I am curious if others have tried Solaris X86 or Win NT on a 755CX ? In a Dock II? (I have a 3Com 509B-combo in the dock which works fine with Warp Connect, NFS and PMX (with CSDs) on thin ethernet).
