(Yes, I know its on hold again, but that's just for write protect recognition only) Now - I can't use the tape drive. I get I/O error messages from the driver. I am using a known good (under MS-DOS w/EZTAPE 2.01) 125 drive, with an Adaptec 2372A controller with the 125 as floppy position 2. I either need this fixed, or a way to return to the original Irwin stuff in the 2.3.1 release. (What do I delete/reinstall? Can I do it w/custom?) I had this working, before I decided to "improve" and "upgrade". All my earlier backups are in this original SCO Irwin format on DC-1000 tapes. All I have on floppy is the original installation diskette set. I've been fighting with this on and off for a month and I'm licked. Anyone know the answers?
