hi all, I stumbled across a load of old QIC 80 tapes of mine today and got curious as to what might be on some of them. I managed to dig out the relevant tape drive slow as hell from what I remember!) I haven't used this thing for years but plugged it into a machine running NT4.0 - amazingly NT detected it and has installed low-level drivers for it, so I'm hopeful that the drive will still work. Of course I have no software for NT that'll read the format on the tapes... Problem - can't find the relevant DOS software either. I probably chucked the floppies a few years back knowing me :-) I do remember way back (actually would have been 1993 or so - just on topic for the list!) using another vendor's software under DOS though. Software was for the Jumbo series or drives that were around at the same time; different vendor but it worked with the Iomega drive too. Not that I can find a floppy with that on either :-) Anyone got one of these drives or a pointer to the software on the 'net? No problem booting the machine under DOS to access the tape drive - I doubt there's any (free) NT software around that'll read the format on those tapes. That's assuming the information on them hasn't vanished anyway of course... cheers Jules ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
