My problem (which I should have mentioned...) is that I have two high powered notebooks, neither of which have a SCSI port. I'm wondering what options, if any, exist for this situation. I really don't want to buy a desk top system just to get a SCSI port. But neither IBM or Compaq were very helpful on my first round of customer support contacts.

Anything like a SCSI enclosure with some other type of connectivity? I may end up buying the base model of one of those stripped down "audio PCs" you see in the back of the trade mags. It would serve a second purpose: hosting some ungodly large hard drive as another backup/archive option. (currently, I am not archiving to hard drive: final stereo mixes go to both DAT and CD, and the original multi-track recordings get wiped after giving the client 30 days notice. But with terabytes of storage now costing less than a wall filled with DAT (or some other format) of tape, I may finally go hard drive as one of my archive types.
