OS2 Software came with the original drive. The system was designed to run on a 486 processer, speed causes a problem here. I have put a couple of excerpts from the readme files here re some of the know problems.Good luck!
Bus timing and Colorado Backup for OS/2 DMA overrun error:
Colorado Backup for OS/2 may not work correctly if your
system bus timing is set higher than 8 MHZ. Tape drives
are very sensitive to hardware timing and an abnormal
bus speed may result in operational problems or errors
reported by Colorado Backup for OS/2.
If you are consistently getting a DMA overrun error message
(error number 51) we suggest checking your hardware settings.
Experiment with the bus speed, setting it as close to 8MHz
as possible. If your system supports the 7.15MHz or 7.25MHz
settings, these will usually work best.
Note: The Auto-configuration option (if your setup has one)
MUST be disabled in order for the new bus speed
settings to take effect.
Using a Trakker with a 586 class machine:
When using a Trakker tape drive with a 586 class computer
you may need to set the data or control delay, or both.
Adjustments are not necessary unless the system is not
working properly.
If you receive error messages that the software cannot
communicate with the drive, you will need to change the
control delay. The control delay is automatically set
to 0. You will switch it to a setting between 1 and 5.
To change the control delay:
1. Locate the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\CBOS2\TTDVR.SYS
2. Add the following setting to the end of the line:
/C=X (Replace X with a number between 1 and 5. Start
with 1 and reboot. If that doesn't work try 2 and so
on until you find a setting that works.)
Example: With the control delay set at 1 the entire
line will look like this: DEVICE=C:\CBOS2\TTDVR.SYS /C=1
If you receive error messages when you try to verify a
backup, experience extremely slow operations such as
backups and restores or notice the drive making sounds
like the tape is passing back and forth quickly you will
need to adjust the data delay. The data delay is
automatically set to 0. You will need to switch it to a
setting between 1 and 5.
To change the data delay:
1. Locate the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\CBOS2\TTDVR.SYS
2. Add the following setting to the end of the line:
/D=X (Replace X with a number between 1 and 5. Start
with 1 and reboot. If that doesn't work try 2 and so
on until you find a setting that works.)
Example: With the data delay set at 1 the entire line
will look like this: DEVICE=C:\CBOS2\TTDVR.SYS /D=1
If you need to adjust both the control and data delay,
simply add both settings to the end of the
DEVICE=C:\CBOS2\TTDVR.SYS line in your CONFIG.SYS file.
With the data and control delays both set at 1 the line
would look like this: DEVICE=C:\CBOS2\TTDVR.SYS /D=1 /C=1
