[Discussion] Disk Backup to CD (Carl Gehr)

[Thomas Clayton]

Jim:

Do you /ever/ find BA2K /not/ working with, either, Warp4 (FP13 or 
greater) or eCS (any version)?

When the system 'went to' KEE driver architecture, I thought I remember

that tape back up Sw didn't work anymore. (This may have been for plain

old Back Again, /not/ BA2K. In which case, I'm still SOL since i never 
got BA2K but since I had something else.)
