[comp.sys.amiga] Quarterback/Supra problems

owen@euclid.enet.dec.com (Steve Owen) (01/09/90)

I've been told that Quarterback (the Hard Drive Backup Util.) is incompatable
with Supra Drives.  Can someone confirm or deny this?  

I've heard several very good reports about Quarterback, and only a few poor
reviews (which is more than I can say for most backup Utils.).  So please
enlighten me on what the problem is here.

Steve

There was a problem at one time.  I don't exactly recall what the problem was,
but I think it was a Supra bug.  Anyway, it's fixed now, I use both of these
products with very good results.

I'm probably the one that told you, but

It didn't work for me, and then I noticed a note in "bug bytes" in AC
that it was a known problem.

	I've used Quarterback exclusively with my Supra drives for quite a
while now. I have had no problems since Supra fixed a small software bug in
version 5.2. (They have since then gone through 5.3, Release II 1.03, 1.05,
1.07, 1.09, 1.09c, 1.09e and 1.09f... Always getting improved!)

I have used quarterback with my supra on my old 1000 with ZERO problems. Be
SURE you have the current version of the supra software however since
old versions had problems.  Great program in my opinion.
