| Does anyone know where I can locate programs and drivers for OS2 and the Colorado Trakker 250 or Colorado HPT1000e parallel port tape machines. I have the software, but it isnt' working. I think I need to make an adjustment to the configuration file or to the autoexec.bat file to make it work. Also, I'm getting error messages when I run the software; I would like to locate a chart of the numbers to know what the error numbers mean. Fajarden |

| ... as far I understand, is a typical WIN-HW !? OS/2 needs THE driver for this unit and the respective SW and it seems there is NO such thingies !? NO,NO, OS/2 does NOT need an entry in its autoexac.bat !!! |

| You'll have to find OS/2 software which supports that drive. I don't know if Back Again 2 supports it or not - and if it does - BA/2 is currently out of production. There is also BackMaster 3 at: http://www.msrdev.com/products/default.htm I have no idea if you can still buy this product though or if it will work with your tape drive (it lists several Parallel port drives that it claims to work with) . The web site was last updated in 1999, so I imagine it might be abandomware by now, but I don't know. There is a demo you can download to try on that site. |

| Hi: For OS/2 software, including backup solutions like BackMaster v3, visit "http://os2.mensys.nl/indexuk.html". I bought some software from them on a couple of occasions in the past year and have been very satisfied. Good Luck! Luc |

| 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: If you are consistently getting a DMA overrun error message If you receive error messages that the software cannot To change the control delay: If you receive error messages when you try to verify a To change the data delay: If you need to adjust both the control and data delay, With the data and control delays both set at 1 the line |
