#66897 - 04/02/2002 20:00 tape backup help please
muzza Pooh-Bah Registered: 21/07/1999 Posts: 1765 Loc: Brisbane, Queensland, Australi...	Does anyone have any hints as to installing a Colorado T1000 tape drive as drive B under win98SE? Ive installed drivers OK; Windows operates the drive OK but the dialog which selects the drive as B is disabled. Any clues? The software (dos) the client is running must hve the drive as B for the built in backup to function. The drive is on the floppy connector if it's any help.

Preferably B, but I'm not fussy. _________________________ -- Murray I What part of 'no' don't you understand? Is it the 'N', or the 'Zero'?

Oooh the fun of a windoze install! _________________________ -- Murray I What part of 'no' don't you understand? Is it the 'N', or the 'Zero'?
