- if someone found a way to backup coh partitions with dos i'd sure like to
- know. no there is no qic-40 support, tho it has been disscussed (by users
- not necissarly by mwc). now i suppose you could write a dd for dos that
- would put its output on a qic-40 tape. but then if you went to that much
- trouble you could have written a qic-40 coh driver :-)
