- I would like to install an Exabyte 8205 (a new model), but need to
- get device drivers and backup software for it. My system is
- basically DOS/Windows (and a small partition for OS/2).
-
- I would prefer hsareware or public domain software if it is any
- good (and often it is). If not recommendations for commercial
- software would also be useful.
-
- I am aware that Central tools V 8.0 now might bea able to do the
- job. I am also aware that Sytos and Novastor (Novaback?) also have
- backup software. Can anyone suggest which of these is the way to
- go. I currently own Central Tools 7.1 so that an upgrade would be
- inexpensive.
-
- One special point about the EXabyte 8205. It has two modes in which
- it operates: 8200c (compressed mode) whichis its native default
- mode, and 8200 which is for backward compatibility to the earlier
- Exabyte 8200 tape drive. I need software that can switch between
- these two modes. The drive responds to a SCSI MODE SELECT (15h)
- command.
-
- Thank you very much for the help.
