Ron, I have the same software as you. The docs claim it actually looks for the Rev C roms and aborts if it cannot find them. If this is true, you cannot use the software with your CMS SCSI card. I suggest you swap SCSI cards. Get a RamFast SCSI with the new 2.0 roms. It will be much faster than your CMS card for disk access, and it has tape backup and restore software built in.
