AIWA TD8000 internal IDE Tape Backup

Greetings all don't know how many (if any of you) this will help but it seems that this tape drive aiwa td 8000 reports itself as a TD8000 to win2k through plug & play thus making it unusable as win2k is looking for it as a ATD8000 ! simple fix though just remove the A in \winnt\inf\tape.

Hope this helps someone!
