HELP!  I am using Sytos Plus version 1.32 under DOS 5.0 with a
Wangteck 5150 backup tape drive off of an ADAPTEC 1542B SCSI adapter.
Well, more correctly, I am TRYING to use but the backup software
really has left me quite aggravated.  When the software starts backing
up, it stops after about 22 files or about 293KB.  Right now, it stops
at the same file (syplus.exe) and locks.  So I figured it may be the
file so I excluded it from the backup.  It freezes constantly after
about 300KB has been backed up and I have to reboot (quite slow with
AMI BIOS!).  I have tried eliminating everything in the config.sys and
autoexec.bat (except for aspi4dos.sys of course) but to no avail.  I
don't know what to try next.  Can anyone please offer any
suggestions!!?

Here are my config.sys and autoexec.bat files:
config.sys:
DEVICE=C:\AHA\ASPI4DOS.SYS
DEVICE=C:\AHA\ASPIDISK.SYS
 DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
 DOS=HIGH,UMB
STACKS=9,256
 DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
 SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\ /e:1536 /p
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
 DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE /DOUBLE_BUFFER
 device=c:\utils\f-driver.sys

autoexec.bat:
@echo off
 C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE
rem After Dark
rem C:\WINDOWS\AD-DOS.COM
 C:\MOUSE\MOUSE
prompt $p$g
PATH c:\utils;c:\compress;C:\EXCEL;C:\PM4;C:\ALDUS;C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\XTGOLD;C:\;C:\C700\BINB;C:\C700\BIN;C:\WINWORD
 SET LIB=C:\C700\LIB;
 SET INCLUDE=C:\C700\INCLUDE;
 SET HELPFILES=C:\C700\HELP\*.HLP
 SET INIT=C:\C700\INIT
 set TEMP=C:\C700\TEMP
 SET DSPADI=C:\ACAD11\FADI41.EXP
 SET DOSX=-CALLB 2
C:\F1280\FSCAN -ON

I'm thoroughly disgusted with this problem (either the tape drive or
the software) and could really use some help.  

Thanks for any suggestions!
