I've got a Compaq C1537A 12/24 DAT drive which under Windows 98 I can disable hardware compression, therefore allowing my software to do the compression.
Under Win2000 Pro, I don't have the facility to do this, so my software always defaults to hardware compression, which doesn't compress as much and increases my backup time by 50%.
I've set the DIP switches to 'Turn off compression at power on, allow host control' but this doesn't do any good.
Any thoughts?
