jumbo 1400

[anthony vanderheggen]

I have a window 98 OS.
Where do get drivers for this tape drive ?
all drivers at driversearch seemed to be for a NT OS. do I need to install windows msbackup
for it to work ? documentation ?
do I need something from seagate ?
clueless.
thanks for help

This may work, no guarantees. You ARE dealing with a ten year old tape drive. Cheaper to backup your data to a CD writer because you may not be able to find tapes for this anymore.

I just happen to have a Jumbo 1400 sitting in my HP Pavilion PC, which I am ln now.

You are not looking for drivers. You are looking for an app. As Lewis indicated, his Colorado backup app should work. I do know Seagate backup exec works and Colorado backup for win 95 works. The native backup app that ships with the os does not work. Good luck,
Don

the zip device CB2V80 seems to work.
I had made a copy of the register for the tape backup using bitmap images from before the crash and in compairing it,it is the same on the registry as before.
I started a backup and it was working,
detected the tape jumbo 1400.
I had to stop cause my wife wanted
me to cut the grass.
I will test it some more later today.
thank you , I appreciate it.
