Please Help!
	I have a Conner QIC-80v6 tape drive on a Dell pentium 75 machine, which
worked perfectly in win3.11 with conner exec backup.  I have installed
Win95 and  now i am having problems. To start of with i could not even get
the computer to recognise the tape drives existence. I went to the seagate
web site (who took over conner) and downloaded  sb4win95v111 which seemed
to be the software required to replace exec backup. Once i had installed
this new program the machine recognised the tape drive on the system
devices list, but the new software stated no drive installed!  Help!
please.......

We have a Conner 250Mb QIC drive (internal)... what I ended up doing is to use
the Win95 Backup application... the drive seems to work 95% of the time
(sometimes Win95 looses it and I have to have it 'find' it again)... but then
again, I've never been a big fan of Conner...

There is an update to win95 backup that seemed to cure the problems I had
with it. It's called something like backupd.exe.  On my p133 at the office
it really flies now and no more problems with losing it.

At home, I can even backup across my network very easily.

I have a Conner drive that uses Travan TR1 tapes.  When I upgraded to
Win 95 and a Pentium, I obtained Conner Backup Exec Win 95 - an upgrade
program - and so far everything seems OK.

Hope this helps.

If your drive is connected to a tape accelerator card, make sure that card
is configured with it's own resources. Normally the card is configured to
'share' IRQ6 with the floppy drive. DOS/Windows allows this. Win95 has
problems, as would OS/2. Normally you can use IRQ5, but be warned that may
be used for your sound card, if you have one.
