 HELP!
I have recently upgraded my PC to a 386 motherboard and suddenly
I get this crazy error message from the tape backup unit porgram:
  Error 96 - HOST COMPUTER IS TOO FAST
The tape backup unit is a model XR4(E) from ColoradoMemory Systems
and is no longer serviced by them.  The local agents only answer
is to buy their new 120MB unit - but it can't read my old tapes,
and I don't want an old PC hanging about just to read them now
and again.

Has anyone got a solution, like upgraded software, another software
package compatable with the QIC-40 drive, SOURCE CODE, QIC-40
standard specs, or even just Colorado Memory Systems EMAIL address??
Thank for reading the message
MARK HARRISON
Happy new year to all.
