SubjectRe: bkbits.net is down
	Hello Larry ,  Foooeeyyyyy !  It was not the SCSI drives that
	failed you from what you had posted .  It was the drivers which
	were puking (afaict) .  I'll admit that tape backup of heavily
	changing data is a test in futility .  But I'll NOT fail in making
	my backups ,  ever !-) .  Twyl ,  JimL
