- I have a colorado Jumbo 250 hooked up with floppy controller
- (IDE floppy controller) and a Adaptec 1522B SCSI controller.
-
- A seemingly well known bug causes the damn tape drive to
- seek back and forth to the tune of only 18MEG/120Minutes
- backup speed.
-
- I called Colorado on Friday and was told to download bustifix.exe
- which is a debug string which supposedly resets the bus on and
- off timings so that the tape drive can function. However,
- this file simply locks up my hard drive controller.
-
- I have an URGENT need to backup a large disk drive that I have
- to reformat this weekend. Please send email with any and all
- info and I will do -=anything=- to get it fixed including calling
- you or downloading patch files from anywhere if they aren't
- available tothe general public.
-
- Please help me!!
