I have been using an IBM PCMCIA SCSI card in a 755CX with a HP1533A SCSI 4-mm DDS2 drive for backup. I have been using BakupWiz which seems to work well under Warp (I use both FAT and HPFS partitions on a 1.2 GB internal TP drive). I have also used the same software and tape drive with the Adaptech adapter and a 2.25 GB IBM SCSI HD (HPFS only) in a Dock II. Seems to work equally well.
