Colorado Tape backup...

[Robert Bodling]

Now that I was assisted by Cari in fixing my printer that kept locking
up with an install driver for Windows 98... I need to find a driver
for my Colorado Tape Drive for this Windows XP machine.

The drive is a Colorado Travan tape drive, and the only information I
have on it is from sources that were available when I had it running
on my Win98 system. The 3.5 disk says it is from Colorado Memory
System, Label on it says "ColoradoBackup", PN 151A1 VER 2.80 a
Division of Hewlett-Packard, The tape I was using: TR-1
Minicartridge, Uncompressed 400MB/800 MB Compressed 2:1 made by 3M

If this helps, I would like to find the correct drivers to use it on
my Windows XP if possible.

Robert I have no idea if you will be able to find drivers for that tape
drive but why would you want to bother. Hard drives are selling for less
that $1.00 per gb. Not only would it be faster it certainly would be more
reliable.

Your tape drive is a floppy controller based drive and isn't supported
(meaning there is no way to get it to run) under Windows 2000 and above.

No particular reason other than it is mounted in my tower's drive bay
and I thought since it ws there, I might use it for something other
than a paper weight... thanks!

I can relate to that. I still have a Sparq drive in mine :)
