Using the Tape Drive on Other Computers

The software installation CD that came with your tape drive allows you to install Colorado Backup for DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95. You can disconnect the tape drive and move it to another computer as long as the other computer meets the installation requirements described in the section “Minimum System Requirements” on page 35.

The first time you connect the tape drive to another computer, you must also install any necessary software.

To move the tape drive to another computer:

1.Turn OFF your computer.

2.Unplug the tape drive from the outlet or power strip. (There is no power switch on the tape drive.)

3. Disconnect the data cable from the back of your computer.
