tape backup help please

Does anyone have any hints as to installing a Colorado T1000 tape drive as drive B under win98SE?
Ive installed drivers OK; Windows operates the drive OK but the dialog which selects the drive as B is disabled. Any clues?
The software (dos) the client is running must hve the drive as B for the built in backup to function.

The drive is on the floppy connector if it's any help.

Thanks

You might have to futz around in your BIOS to get drive B working right.

tried that. if I enable drive B in the bios, I get errorz
dang hp drivers are useless.

Are you sure your drive cable isn't faulty? I had it happen to me before.

Yeah windoze operates it fine. Backs up, restores.
I just need to assign it to a drive letter. Preferably B, but I'm not fussy.

Sorry, I'm stumped. Maybe it's just one of those devices that was never meant to work with windows (98) ?

I'm suspecting that. Might have to downgrade it to 95 and see what happens. Oooh the fun of a windoze install!
