Alex,
When I was using dos and win 3.1, I did have the aspi drivers for my adaptec
cards (aha1510, aha2940, aha1542c) in the config.sys, but not in win95/98,
and TPU has run and recognized most scsi drives in dos/win3.1/win95/98. But
my old IN2000 Always Technologies card had no driver. All I needed to do was
to hook the drive up and type tpu, and if I had multiple tape drives, a
selection list would appear so I could choose the which drive to use.
It seems, from what everyone is telling me, that under XP I will not be able
to use my old DOS TPU.EXE for a variety of reasons. This really irritates me
because the old program is so much quicker and easier to use than the WinXP
version. Nothing compares to the old TPU.EXE for analyzing and reading tapes.
Thanks for you help.
