ER's Abekas Drivers are being worked on as I type this to operate under NT. NT's SCSI tape support has been making it very difficult for us to complete this task, but we're nearly through bypassing most of Microsoft's bugs. Our NT Abekas Tape module will also be made available in HIIP module form which means that any HIIP-enabled applications like ER for Windows will be able to write to tape directly.

Thanks Jason, I have the DOS Abekas drivers on order — I'm hoping they get here before the Siggraph Demo Reel deadline <g>. The NT features of the new drivers sound quite exciting. What is your upgrade policy (if there currently is a policy) from the DOS drivers to the NT drivers? — James — Choreo Motion —

James, In the old(er) days I might be able to answer your question (about upgrade policy from the Windows Abekas Driver to the NT Abekas Driver). But since Elastic Reality was acquired by Avid Technology, such decisions have moved off to the Boston area…so I don't know the answer. Jason eri tech support
