- I just got an Archive 2525s tape drive attached to my A2000 with a Supra
- WordSync controller (Series III ROM 3.8 AMA B6). When I try to backup with
- Amiback v2.0f using the A2000 fitted with an A2630 boards, the program
- locks up. If I go to 68000 mode, everything works fine (but a lot slower).
- I called Moonlight tech support and they said it was a bug in the older
- version of the driver/ROM. Anyone have the newer version which runs a similar
- drive in 68030 mode? Supra is impossible to get a hold of. I tried
- Quarterback abd it runs fine with the 030. Amiback tech said they use a
- different backup routine for faster speed which causes the problem.
