- Bruce,
- The single biggest complaint lodged about Colorado Memory Systems Tape
- Drives are usually the TAPES themselves. There are only a limited number
- of kinds of tapes which will work with CMS drives. You didn't mention
- what kind of tape you are using, but if you check in the manual, there is
- a list of certified tapes in there.
- Secondly, if the tape you are using is correct, post another message here
- and I will walk through the install of both the tape software and
- hardware with you, as I have written a handy-dandy text file for that
- purpose. 8-)
