T3000 Colorado Tape Drive
To all those persons who wanted to know whether there was a driver that would make the Colorado T3000 tape drive compatible with XP:
I telephoned HP and spoke with a technician who checked into the problem. I was told that HP would not be creating such a driver because the T3000 is obsolete.They are now doing DAT which is very expensive for home use computers. One could always reformat back to Windows 98 etc. but this would be too involved and would probably cause more problems than it would solve. Makes no sense to me.
The other suggestion the technician made was to install a CD writer and use that method of backup.
That is what I plan to do.

Re: T3000 Colorado Tape Drive
Pity you can't fit 2GB on a CD overnight unattended....
Really, how much work would it have been to write a driver for the hundreds, if not thousands of people out there with TR1,2,3 & 4 tape drives.
On another note, you might like to find an IDE interface device like a Iomega Jazz or a TR4/NS8 tape drive. I think the TR4/NS8 drives will read the TR3 formatted tapes too.
Cheers,
Graham.
