- The Wangtek Support line is 1-800-992-9916, unforunently, I have found
- that they aren't much help unless you have one of their newer tape drives.
- I have an old Wangtek Model FAD 3500 AN tape drive and I was able to get
- absolutly no information from them other than that the newest version of
- Central Point backup is supposed to support it (it is supposed to run off the
- floppy cable but I haven't been able to get it to work yet, I haven't spent
- the 75 bucks for CP backup yet though).
