Hi Peter,
Nice to hear from you.

I went to Hobbes, but there was just old stuff. I downloaded the trial
version of BA 2, but it gave the same trap 0008 error. It must be that
both drives are on the same channel. I would think that if I went to SCSI,
that would fix the problem.

Dani says she could fix her driver to accommodate the second drive, but
she doesn't have time right now.

I already have a dedicated hard drive partition where I keep drive image
file backups, but drive image can't restore individual files under hpfs.
That was the beauty of BackMaster, I could easily recover just one file
from a tape.

But Backmaster seems to have gone out of business, and their latest
software doesn't do IDE.

Sandy
