You get a prompt about putting in a tape to load the system software. Can this be done with a cassette tape and how do I go about making one that is also a copy of all the stuff I have currently on my system. I am thinking of getting a new harddrive and would not like to have to go through the hourse of re-setting up my system. Also my backup script when I run it, I get SYNTAX error. Anybody know what the fix is. Please e-mail me and/or if you think everybody wants to know. Post it. But to make sure I get it, please forward it to my e-mail box.
