- You are unable to access your floppy disk drives while the tape driver
- for your DC 2000 tape drive is running, that is, while Backup is
- running. DC 2000 class tape drives are all QIC floppy controller-based
- tape drives. Because most drivers for this type of tape drive take
- full control of the floppy controller, other processes are not able to
- access the floppy disk drives.
-
- To regain access to the floppy drives, close Backup.
