First let me say: I'm not worthy ... I'm not worthy ... Good, now that I've got that off my chest, would you find either of these contributions of value: 1) A Sanyo CD-Rom driver. Works fine, speed is reasonable, no sound support ( I reckon if you want sound, buy a walkman ). 2) An upgraded 'ft' program for QIC-80 tape. Allows multiple volumes per tape. Colorado Backup for Win/DOS created volumes can co-reside on the tape. Bypasses seek error in device driver. Doesn't support volumes spanning tapes yet, but will the moment I need to backup something that big. If you find either/both of these items to be useful contributions I would be pleased to do so provided someone tells me how. Also some advice on how to word a boilerplate, since the error-correction for the tape program is that of the original 'ft'.
