#GVP 150MB Tape Backup
8 messages in this thread
Did someone used the 150Mb tape backup kit from GVP? I have one here and I
would need help!
Pat.
Pat, I have one. What is the problem?

Khalid:
Don't mean to sidle in here, but I was about to spring for one, in
conjunction with a large Q drive. Do you recommend the unit?

David, I really like the GVP Tape streamer software and drive. Very nicely
done and quite fast. I heartly recommend it.
Khalid.
Thanks for the feedback – gonna spring for it.

It does not work with the new 2Megs IMPACT Hardcard… and I am not able to
restore the backups I make in FILE MODE! It restores only 40-60% of the
files from the tape. It's like if it would not be able to see them. I
have version 1.29 of their backup/restore program (which is well done, by
the way!) Once in a while a get an error message: SCSI ERROR #80…! Any
idea?
Pat.
Pat, interesting. I used to have some problems with it but since I
upgraded to version 1.3f (I think that's the right version) of the
software, it's been working like a charm, and is also a lot faster. The
SCSI error message doesn't show up anymore and restores are very reliable.
I am using it with the GVP 030/33 mhz board, and have never tried it on a
stock Amiga, so can't comment on that. Wish I could help more.

I just got version 1.3G from GVP and it works perfectly fine now! thanks.
Pat.
