- I have just returned the CMS software that i d/l last night. It is buggy
- to say the least. Proprietary format is not what i needed. The driver
- accesses and grinds my A drive everytime i attempt to read or write
- the tape drive. I couldn't get a volume directory after a full backup
- in order to test the restore capabilities. Save your $99 and wait a month
- for the Backmaster version which will be QIC 40 and 80 format. So I'm
- told anyway. I would like to see the software be a command line utility
- rather than a pm app. If the system crashes, I really don't want to install
- GA and the SP just to backup. I want to be able to boot OS/2 via floppy
- and run the tape software then. Back to the drawing board. For those of you
- familiar with the quality of CMS products, you can immediately see that this
- is not their product. Quite a shame.
