  Perhaps if you had the RIGHT ECHO (This is the OS/2 programming echo,
  where we discuss writing OS/2 programs.  The OS/2 hardware echo is
  called OS2HW.) you would have already solved your problem.

  Several people have reported success with Novaback 2.01 for OS/2 and the
  CMS Jumbo 250 sans tape controller board.  IBM DualStor for OS/2 is also
  reported to work with the CMS 250 DJ-250.

  Colorado Backup for OS/2 was released in January 1995 (that's a YEAR
  AGO), which (surprise surprise) fully supports all of the CMS Jumbo and
  Trakker range.

  For information on all of the above (including who owns what -- I'm
  never quite up to date with the "dynamic world of the tape hardware
  business"), ask in the FIDONET OS2HW echo.

  I leave you with what I said on the 5th January 1995 :
