   In a message dated 09-24-14, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   GA Ed,   
      
   EV> I used DOSBOX a few days ago and it reads the SyQuest Drive FB.   
      
   That's nice, congratulations.   
      
   EV> By reading the DOCS I learned to Press Ctrl-F4 after swapping   
   EV> cartridges.   
   EV> Doing that lets DOSBOX Use what's on another cartridge.   
      
   By clicking ctrl-L in XTree I can shift to another drive or CD.   
      
   With my first PC (AT) I received the XTree program that now in OS/2 is   
   named ZTree. That's the only file manager I use. I have tried others as   
   well but always gone back to Xtree/ZTree. It does have all the functions   
   you can ever dream of. Even if I have a registered copy of LIST I have   
   not used it for ages.   
      
   EV> I don't think I have to do the SyQuest Install with the ASPI, EPP   
   EV> etc. being put in a CONFIG.SYS file, because what I seen the other   
   EV> day shows I can Read (and probably Write) on any of my Cartridges in   
   EV> the SyQuest SCSI Drive using DOSBOX on the XP computer.   
      
   Of course you don't need an installation program since it works now.   
      
   EV> I Appreciate You helping me.   
      
   I'm glad if I can help anyone in trouble.   
      
   EV> I was looking at the BACK UP set of carts and it looks like I was   
   EV> using the Back Up program that is in MS-DOS 5.0 or in IBM PC-DOS 7.0   
   EV> on that computer.   
      
   If the .sys files in the root directory are io.sys and msdos.sys you   
   have a MS-DOS 5 system. The .sys files for PC-DOS are named ibmbio.sys   
   and ibmdos.sys. If you have the original PC-DOS 7 version they are dated   
   1994 and if you do have the updated version they are dated 1998.   
      
   MS-DOS v5 may not have support for cartridge drives.   
      
   EV> If I'm correct I just need to use the Restore Option in the Backup   
   EV> Prg. if that is how it's done.   
      
   Every back-up program must have a restore function since they may save   
   files in their own way which probably isn't compatible with others.
