I have a problem with which I hope someone can help me. I have an Amiga 2000 with a Hardframe controller, a 105 meg drive, 6 megs of fast RAM etc. Problem: When I try to back up the hard drive to a Syquest drive (44 Megs), using Quarterback, Quarterback would prompt me for a diskchange when the Syquest cartridge is filled. If I change the cartridge, Quarterback does not know about it. How can I tell Quarterback that I have changed the disk? Is there a new driver for Hardframe that supports diskchange? Or a diskchange program for the Hardframe? Please do not tell me to look on BIX. I do not have an account there nor do I know anyone who does. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ******************************************************************************* | Daniel A.

Well, you _could_ run DiskChange from another CLI, but we're (by "we", I mean MicroBotics) not certain that that's adequate. We do have a background program called "DChange" which does exactly what you wish. It is available for Bix download (don't fear, I'll EMail it to you), or available on an upgrade disk ($7.00 U.S.) or the new PROM upgrade ($49.00 U.S. + $3.00 shipping). Please, no C.O.D.s or credit cards for the disk or PROM. The costs associated with that are not feasable. We do trust you, so personal checks or money orders are fine, and we usually don't wait for them to clear before shipping. Daniel, look for a uuencoded version of DChange from me via EMail. > Is there a new driver for Hardframe that supports diskchange? Or a > diskchange program for the Hardframe? See above. The new driver runs a version of this DChange program in the background, so QuarterBack should have no problems. BTW, we wrote it to support Syquests in particular, since they're getting so popular. > Please do not tell me to look on BIX. I do not have an account there nor > do I know anyone who does. I have an account on Bix, and that's where I'll be sending you the program from. > > Any help would be greatly appreciated. > > > ******************************************************************************* > | Daniel A.
