Help! I have been using a 5 meg Profile with my Apple //e for six years. I have been using Backup // as a backup program the entire time. Three weeks ago, I got a 1 meg //gs. I proceeded to install the Profile on the //gs (yes, I do have the right version of the interface card ROM) and everything is great. EXCEPT, Backup // no longer works since system 5.0 uses the extended file type (which ProDOS 8 chokes on). Thus, Backup // returns the message "UNSUPPORTED STORAGE TYPE" and aborts. I got a new copy of the Apple // SCSI Utilities Disk, which has a 1985 version of Backup // on it, and I still have the same problem. The question is this: Has anyone out there fixed Backup (or P8) to make it work? Or, can someone recommend a new backup program that either runs under P8 AND reads extended files, OR a program that runs under GS/OS (16 bit)? Please e-mail replies, since I don't read this newsgroup regularly (but I'll try). /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / Todd Davis INTERNET: trd10523@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu / / Computer Engineering Student COORDINATES: 40 06' 47" N / 88 13' 35 W / / University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign / ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

From the people I talked to I think they are going to try to fix it. Can any of the apple folk confirm or deny this? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Michael Steele mikes@shumv1.ncsu.edu mikes@ccvr1.ncsu.edu ALINK: MikeSteele mikes@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu BITNET: netoprms@ncsuvm.bitnet
