If you really get stuck, borrow/buy pc-tools 6.0 and see whether or not
it supports your particular tape drive in PCBACKUP.EXE.

My drive is the cheapie Colorado Memory Systems one ($249),
and PCBACKUP is MUCH better than the software that came with it.

Not that the supplied software was all that bad.. lots of good options,
but lousy error recovery!
