- I have only a single tape drive, not two in the same machine. I have
- not had any problems with NBW... I have been very pleased with it. I
- have used it with an ArchiveXL (Gateway 2000 486/33) and with an
- Iomega tape 250 (Compaq Deskpro 486/33M). Backups and formats even run well
- in the background. I would recommend Norton Backup highly.

- I have been using a shareware program WCRON (registered). It has the
- advantage of keeping a log file of events and somewhat more flexible
- scheduling. I had problems with the Norton SCHEDULER program and Windows 3.
- 1 drivers for my Compaq Qvision video card.
- I remember that Symantec sent me a free, unrequested update for Norton
- Utilities ver 6.0. I was impressed with that. I occasionally get a flyer
- when they want to sell me an update (NDW v1.0 to v2.0) or their anti-virus
- program.
