re: DI usage

That was an interesting look into how you use DI. I'm still sorting out a prefered methodology and admittedly rather lazy about rebooting onto another drive to use DI, in my case under w98. I'm still under the weight of years using a one drive computer. To freely roam amongst the drives I have available to me now is a mind set I need to work on. I guess old habits dying hard is the wellspring of my wish for a DI native to NT.

Dan,

actually there is. I wish I could remember the name. The software is about $1,000 dollars. bigger problem was in has limited drive support mostly all DLT's starting at $2500 and going up. I'll post the info wonce I remember the name and the company... Its on the tip of my tongue...

EDIT: stac.com product is replica...

BTW: it appears there tape support has increased. appears to support TR4 based drives now and is under $400. I might need to eval it now. Its much cheaper than when it first came out about 18 months ago

FWIW, I use DI almost exactly the way Dan does: boot to win98/dos, run DI, then move the images to other files.

Unlike Dan, though, I use PM 4 under NT not infrequently. I find it faster and easier than using the dos exe. I really like its batch mode operation.
