- Doesn't Quarterback store the catalog on both the 1st and last disk? I think
- I've heard several of these kinds of complaints about the new 5.x version
- of Quarterback. I still use the old 4.x version, which has a bug where the
- floppy drive is unusable after using Quarterback. This is a drag, but not
- as bad as a corrupted back up! Good luck!
