- Their software does not support QIC 40/80 tape drives (i.e., Colorado or
- Maynard ArchiveXL tape drives). Nor does any other software that I have
- tried to locate. This fiasco is very reminiscent of the esentially zero
- printer support that came with OS/2 1.0. This together with no OS/2
- Stacker is infuriating. My OS/2 2.0 still lies on the shelf and I continue
- with Windows 3.1 and Norton Desktop 2.0, which BTW, do a surprisingly good
- job. Windows 3.1 support for graphics DOS windows has solved many of my
- problems that drove me to consider OS/2 2.0. Maybe, someday, I'll get to
- try OS/2. 8=))!
