Received my 1542B last week and was disappointed to find out that
running my Colorado Memory Jumbo 10 tape drive off the floppy port
(as I previously did off an Ultrastor controller) works poorly. It
will not allow the tape drive to run in streaming mode. Does anyone
know of a soluction to this other than purchasing the Colorado TC-10
tape adapter? I just picked up a TC-10 and as expected that fixes the
problem (another $98.00)! I liked using CPBACKUP but now with the TC-10
it won't recognize the presence of the tape drive. I'll give Central
Point a call tomorrow. Can anyone tell me if there is an IBM BBS that
has Roy Neese's utilities (ie.SCSICNTL etc...) for downloading?
Thanks in advance!
