[comp.os.os2.misc] os/2 tape drive needed

ejp@lsw.UUCP (Eric Porter) (12/19/90)

I need to locate a 1/4 tape drive that can be used to backup a machine
running OS/2.  So far I have had no luck.  Can anyone suggest a source
for such a device.  All of the pc hardware vendors I have contacted do
not know (nor seem to care) if any of the drives they are selling
for DOS have support for OS/2 1.2.

Thanks in advance.

The most recent issue of OS/2 and Windows Magazine had an article on Sytos tape
backup software from Sytron.

It will ship with Microsoft's LAN Manager 2.0 and is available for $295.

Many tape backup manufacturers support Sytos.

PC Magazine had a tape backup issue recently - it named OS/2 compatible drives.
