   Howdy!,   
      
   Before I got this XP computer, the computer I used had DOS/Win3.1 on it   
   running on a 486 CPU.   
      
   I was using a SyQuest ez-135 External Removeable Disk Drive to make Backups   
   that were Saved on several Cartridges.   
      
   The ez-135 was connected to the 486 with a Parallel Port cable.   
      
   The newer XP computer didn't have a Parallel Port so I kept the ez-135   
   on the 486 and I used it on the 486 Off and On to make Backup's of the   
   C:\ and D:\ HDD's.   
      
   One day I broke the Loading Door on the Drive.   
      
   I took it to a Shop but it couldn't be fixed.   
   I wasn't about to make a Backup using a bunch of 1.44MB Floppies so the   
   ez-135 became a BOAT ANCHOR sitting on top of the 486.   
      
   Some Years later, a Neighbor told me He saw a SCSI SyQuest ezflyer230mb   
   Drive listed on EBay and the Drive came with a SCSI Card I could put in the   
   XP box.   
      
   I knew the ezflyer230 could Read/Write ez-135 Cartridges, but I did't have   
   a National Charge Card so I paid Him some cash to order that ezflyer230   
   Drive for me.   
      
   I have been thinking about Reading the latest BackUp I made on the 486, and   
   Saving it on the XP box and then Burn the BackUp to a CD-R that I could put   
   in the 486's CD Drive if I needed to Restore the BackUp for it.   
      
   I have both "Innotek Virtualbox" and "DOSBOX" on My XP pc and I have thought   
   for a long time to use one of those Programs to Read the latest Backup I   
   made on the 486 and place it on a CD-R Disk.   
      
   Does Anyone want to help me decide which Program would be the BEST to use.   
   Thank You!
