By the way, about two weeks ago, there was an announcement for a
QIC-40/80 device driver that would let DOS back up the 386BSD partition
using an image backup format.  I have just used it to back my drive up,
and I am please to say that version 1.1 (which is the most recent
version) works at least as well as advertised.

While this does not get a native *BSD driver for the tapes written, it
does allow us to at leat back up the hard drive while we get it going.

The program is available from ftp.uni-duisberg.de (I think).  I have put
version 1.1 up for anonymous FTP here in the pub directory.  It is
called rawdsk11.zip and is a DOS zip file.
