Good about updates?  Say what????
 
I'm a registered owner of Quarterback 2.2, and I received
no update notice!  Most I got was literature about
Mac-2-Dos, which I am definitely not interested in

No, it does NOT.  I have a Syquest SQ555 removable media HD attached
to a Hardframe-2000.  When I try to use Quarterback to backup from 
my normal HDs (a Quantum Pro40S and a Q280) to floppy, it works.
Try to backup one to the Syquest (device name CART:), Quarterback
refuses the drive name.

Told CCS about it, and the person I talked to said "Gee, I dunno."
