Hi Jon, wuzup man?

HUH? Since when? I have my EZ-Drive hooked up right now, just grabbed a file
off of it a few minutes ago. Works like a charm.

Ick....

I do it all straight from OS/2, although I don't use any special software. I
just zip the directories I want to backup directly to the ez-drive. No fancy
programs, just Infozip which automatically takes care of EA's on it's own. I
prefer this method because of the control of directories/files that get
acked
up. (plus there's nothing else to pay for ) A simple batch file takes care
of the stuff I backup semi-regularly. Zipping the files also makes it easy to
recover particular files that were backed up.
Why do you say OS/2 doesn't support your drive? I have the external
parallel-port version of the drive, and the OS/2 software that came with it
gives me full use of it. I can swap disks and do anything I can from real DOS
with it from in OS/2 with no problems. I treat mine as just a small hard
drive.
What version of the drive do you have? External, internal? What problems are
you having?
