According to them, they have never encountered the _standard_compaq_internal_tape_drive before. (Compaq must have sold thousands of them by now!) So now how does the end user do backups? (Not with the 360K floppy if you have at least 15M to copy!) So far, no answer on how it will be fixed...am I really the only one? -- ========================================================================== James A.
