Peter,
Also, I’ll re-run my measurement to see if I was just not paying attention or

force — more on this).
The manufacturer recommends 10% compression, with 5% compression minimum. This
compression percentage has to

Since we don't know the uncompressed height of an OEM strip, we may have to

figures out what computer you are using a sends a numerical code to the
Backpack. It uses the number as an index into the boot sector table to know
which bootstrap program to use. You can change these settings

I got a chance to play with my Backpack Drive today for a little bit.
So far I'm really happy with it. It's seems to work great and be
pretty easy to use. I was only testing on a device with a REX, so I
already have TS-DOS but I'm really thinking with the built-in

Had a myriad of crazy issues lashing together my test unit for this..
Somehow I ended up with a tape of level converters where the first three
