Does anyone know of a driver for this tape backup, taht runs under windows XP. So far, all I've come across has been drivers for windows 2000 and NT. Perhaps there are some loopholes...?

You can try fooling XP into thinking it is Win2k by changing the registry, XP core is basically windows 2000 anyway, I had to use this trick for an old mustek scanner of mine. Before you start BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY!!

Open regedit
Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENTVERSION
Change the key labelled "ProductName" from "Microsoft Windows XP" to "Microsoft Windows 2000"
Exit the registry
Reboot
Install the driver
Repeat the registry process and return the "ProductName" to "Microsoft Windows XP"

Hope this can help someone
