Check Your Parallel Ports

Interchangeability of Tapes

using:
Colorado Backup for DOS ver. 4.9
Colorado Backup for Windows ver. 3.0
Colorado Backup for Windows 95 ver. 3.1
Windows NT 4.0 Backup Applet

Installing the Software

Before installing the software, you should check your computer's parallel
port settings to ensure the maximum performance from your tape drive.
There are currently four types of parallel ports on the market: (listed from
the slowest data transfer rate to the fastest) unidirectional, bidirectional,
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP).
New computers are likely to have at least an Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP),
which allows the maximum performance from your tape drive. Consult
your computer's documentation to learn if you have an EPP or ECP port.
If you have one, verify that it is configured to the fastest possible setting.
The Colorado Backup software for DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and
the Windows NT applet have the following interchangeability:

CAUTION: If you create backups under more than one operating system,
use a separate set of tapes for each operating system. Label each tape
appropriately.
