Quickdrive & windws XP
I've just got a new PC with Windows XP on it. On gadget I got a few
years ago - a great device - is a DataWise Quickdrive. Basically its just a box into which you stick your own HDD and it becomes a portable drive connected via the parallel port. Trouble is I can't get it to work on XP with its original software, nor with Windows 2000 software I downloaded. The support page of the Datawise website is not helpful http://www.datawise-online.com/index.htm basically it just says go away we're not supporting the device any more! Has anyone any ideas - or maybe know where I can look? -- Cheers John

If the hardware manufacturer does not supply updated software, drivers or even support, your neat piece of hardware turns into a doorstop. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
