Hi Saab,
sadly, HPT370 is embedded (one of the reasons I bought a VP6, apart from dual processors).
Worked really well for a while (before it was a file server) on RAID 0.
So unfortunately no manual reversion. Biggest pi$$er is that my desktop won't take the full-length SCSI card plus the tape drive.

I appreciate your suggestion, though. Thank you.
Bushfiva I have set the dogs loose with GetDataBack. Thank you for the recommendation - it's not quite doing it for my JBOD yet but looks rather good on a t@ed drive belonging to a friend of mine.
