- I'm trying to use Fastback 2.01 with OS/2 and I can't get it install.
- It consistently fails the low speed DMA test. I have a DOS machine
- which I want to run OS/2 on and I wanted to be able to back everything
- up using Fastback, install OS/2 and HPFS and then restore using
- Fastback. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish
- this? Any ideas on other ways to migrate from a FAT based DOS system
- to an HPFS based OS/2 system in a relatively disk/time efficient
- manner?
