DL'd the demo, installed but it doesn't find my tape drive.  I checked
the support listing and my Sony SDT5000 is listed. I'm using a Pro
Audio Spectrum (nee Trantor) SCSI and PCT backup does find the unit in
dos, but no go in '95.  At one time the drive was listed in the device
manager as "Other device - SDT5000" but that was several device
change/reinstalls ago and an "Add new hardware" doesn't find it now. I
know it still works, I did a dos backup today.
     When I use the NovaStor tape setup program >> Add, the pick list
is blank.  No drive to choose, no seeming way to suggest the program
scan the SCSI bus for a device (that was how PCT located it), and no
way to manually devine a device. I'm stumped. I guess the stock answer
is to try an Adaptec controller. Heck, if I wait a bit I can probably
get the EZ-SCSI Win'95 backup program I've just read about here. 
     Any ideas are appreciated.

TIA
