John, Thank you for uploading the Ami-Back v2.0e to 2.01 patch. I dloaded it and the patch worked fine. Only problem I have is when I run the program I am informed that This copy of Ami-Back has not been properly personalized. Please use the install program to install Ami-Back. I did use the install program, and a copy of the original disk, however the program works just fine. The initial program window shows my name and registration number so it appears that the patch worked OK. What gives? Does it matter? Has the registration portion of the program perhaps been disabled? In any event, thank you for the prompt response to my request for the patch program. Christopher

Hi Chris, I have exactly the same problem as you have! Ami-Back says it`s not personalized, but it is! Cheers, Thomas Germany Flying cyberstormed around with AP.

I have no idea what would cause this, especially if the main screen contains your user info. It is annoying, but it will not interfere with the program. The only thing I can think of at this point is that you might have an old config file from your previous version of Ami-Back interfering with your install script. Make sure you have deleted your old ami-back config file in your s: directory before installing the patch. I will take a look at it and try to figure out what's what. John @ IDI Tech

John, I've been having problems lately restoring back to my A4000 with my Archive Viper and Amiback hooked up to my warp scsi controller. I can back up fine though. I'm forced to put the drive on my A2000 and restore over my Amigalink network to the A4000 which is slow but at least it works. Are there any known problems with the Warp drive Scsi controller and Amiback? John Collier

Many users have called in reporting problems with Ami-Back and the Warp Engine SCSI. The error most rported has been a "Transfer Length Wrong" error. The programmers tell me that the problem is in the Warp Engine SCSI controller, as Ami-Back is written to use SCSI standard commands. At this time, we have not been able to acquire a Warp Engine for testing. I have been attempting to contact Microsystem Development, but they're not even in when they say they're in, so it is difficult. John @ IDI Tech

Ohhh, that is possible… a good idea. I have to look whether this was the reason or not. Thanks. Cheers, Thomas Germany Flying cyberstormed around with AP.

Hmmm… 2.0a? I'll see what I can do. John @ IDI Tech
