Just for curiosity I tried to use it under Windows 3, in enhanced mode. I had to run it fullscreen, with fixed memory and exclusively, and I had to increase DMABufferSize to 29 (in system.ini). Windows itself told me to increase the buffer size. With all these modifications EzTape works without problems. But the above way to run it is not much different from running it standalone. I prefer to do my backups safe, so I run them standalone, anyway. If I switch from fullscreen to windowed after I started EzTape, it replies with "no media in drive", immediatly.
