Charles, This is great news on two counts; The Amiga is definately in need of a _GOOD_ financial management package, I for sure will be watching "this space" for more details. It's also good to see that you will appear in the AmigaVendor forum soon, It's difficult getting support on Ami-anything at the moment <g> On that note, perhaps you can advise/speak to tech support for me? My problem is that I have an A1200 with GVP A1230 II 68ec030 40Mhz accelerator and the GVP A1291 SCSI card installed. To the SCSI chain I've got a Tandberg 3660 tape drive which the GVP card knows is there, and Ami-Back does too, but (and heres the annoying bit) Ami-Back will ONLY retension the tape, whenever it tries to rewind/erase or backup to the tape it gives me the following error; "Illegal SCSI Request" I have Ami-Back version 1.05b (given away free on a magazine coverdisk recently) but before I spend hard earned $'s upgrading to the latest release I want to get my drive working! There are messages in the GVP section of the AmigaVendor about this which you can peruse if it would be helpful. BTW, would Tapeworm FS be any use to me, what is it, how much does it cost and who distributes it in the UK? Kevin 68030/40 A1200… On AutoPilot from Surrey in the UK

Kevin, Let me check with the programmer on that one. I remember hearing some stuff on Tandberg tape drives but I can't remember off hand… I'll get back to you with all the info. -Chas

Charles, Thanks, I wait with baited breath as I've had it up to the neck with the whole thing, but I'm NOT going to give in unless someone is brave enough to say "NO, you'll NEVER get that working because…" and gives a really good reason….<g> Kevin 68030/40 A1200… On AutoPilot from Surrey in the UK

Mike, (the programmer) told me that there was a batch of Tandberg 3600 tape drives that were refurbished and real flakey. He said that might be the problem (as it should work fine). He also said to try the demo version of AmiBack 2.0 first. I'll check to see if it is on CIS….if not, I'll upload it. Give me a day or so… -Chas
