SUMMARY
The Colorado Memory Systems (CMS) tape software must be version 2.46
(or later) to be compatible with MS-DOS version 5.0 or later. While
earlier versions may appear to work, they may err intermittently and
compromise data integrity.
MORE INFORMATION
CMS produces tape drive subsystems that either use an adapter card or
the floppy controller to control the tape drive (neither of which are
seen as logical devices by DOS). The tape software (TAPE.EXE) versions
prior to 2.46 are not compatible with MS-DOS 5.0 or later. While earlier
versions may appear to run correctly, intermittent errors and/or data
corruptions will occur.
Owners of CMS drives should contact CMS to get the new version (2.46)
of the tape software. As of 8/14/91, CMS is shipping the new version at
no charge to owners of CMS tape drives. Owners of the CMS tape drives
must provide the serial number of the tape drive to receive the new
software.
The products included here are manufactured CMS, a vendor independent
of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding
these products' performance or reliability.
