hpt 8gb travan external tape drive

[CA767017]

I just upgraded to windows xp with a new computer. Unfortunaltely it looks like nop driver is available specifically for xp, can another drive (windows nt) work? Has anyone done so?

The problem is that the external colorados rely on a parallel port driver that is made by these guys:

Their last update is that they they are due the first quarter of 2002 (which is nearly up).

However, the Windows 2000 driver does actually do the job. I tried it and it _seems_ to be okay but we (as in HP) don't really support it

Apologies for the long link - the website is pretty poor for this sort of thing.
