- Hi All,
-
- Before installing OS/2, I backed up my HD with a Micro Solutions
- Backpack tape drive, which operates thru the parallel port. Then I
- installed DOS 5 in a FAT partition, and OS/2 in an HPFS logical
- drive. Now I'd like to restore my backed-up files onto the HPFS
- drive. But when I try to run the Micro Solutions backup software
- (v 1.03.03), under OS/2, I get an "Unable to generate printer
- interrupt error." Then the program freezes.
-
- Solutions, suggestions welcome. (Wise thoughts also accepted, but
- please stay on topic. No weirdos. :)
-
- Thanks Netters!
