	Sorry if this is the umteenth reply on this but I just had to reply
	I had the same Problem, Rather my former roommate had the same 
	problem and It worked fine in my computer. The final kludge solut-
	ion was to install 2 ide cards. one was his origional multi i/o 
	card with the floppies disabled and the other was a generic 
	hdd/fdd card connected to the jumbo and floppies. It was a kludge
	but it did work. He also found out that (I Believe) Central point
	backup 4 windows will format and read the tape using just the  multi card
	hope this helps
