Tape Drives

[Alan]

Is there any possible way to make Windows XP see/use a
non-ATAPI tape drive such as the Exabyte Eagle96?

This drive, like the smaller Colorado 350's connects to
the floppy drive cable. Most backup software can see
these drives under Windows 98/SE/ME but I am unable to
make them work with XP. The manufacturers have
no "drivers" for these devices that I can install.

Any suggestions/thoughts (other than dropp big $$ to
replace them) ?

Thanks
Alan

Sorry, but WinXP won't see flopy-based tape drive controllers.
Period. End of discussion.
