[comp.unix.xenix.sco] Tape Backups for Xenix

jay@gdx.UUCP (Jay A. Snyder) (09/25/90)

I want to purchase a tape backup for my SCO Xenix/386 2.3.3 system.
The DC2000 units are the ones in my price range.

I'm considering units from Colorado Memory Systems, Mountain, and Irwin.
Does anyone out there have a DC2000 tape drive on a SCO Xenix system.
Any info on drivers, hardware, experiences, etc would be appreciated.

TIA,
J

I just bought a Colorado DC2000 system last week. Since I already have 2 floppy
drives, I needed to buy another board (add $70). The hardware went in without
a hitch. Colorado has a xenix/unix driver ($100 extra) which works just fine
with tar and backup.

A nice feature for me is that I can backup my DOS partition and XENIX
partition on the same tape.
