Stephen, Thank you for your response, and for your support of our products. We do appreciate it greatly. I would like to mention, however, that the majority of the problems we have had with Quarterback 5.0 have been either due to problems in various SCSI controllers, or getting it to work with some PD software that does not operate quite properly; not because Quarterback was "not ready for release". We would never purposely release a product that we felt was still error-prone. We fully understand that many of these controllers and PD programs work well with other products, but Quarterback makes a number of system calls and interactions that no other program (to my knowledge) exercises (for example, the Nexus controller does not implement some of the SCSI calls we make, and has caused us problems as a result). We are working to put solutions to these problems into Quarterback, and are in contact with the SCSI controller manufacturers to let them know of the problems we come across. It is true that the old Quarterback did not have these problems. But the old Quarterback did not support streaming tape at all, and so did not have to worry about these SCSI problems. Rest assured that we are constantly working hard to improve Quarterback, and that it will remain the most powerful and best supported backup program for the Amiga.
