Why did we get such junky connectors on such a fast pipe? But it's good you have that redundancy. I put my images a couple different places too. Now I'd be interested to hear about any modern mobos with serial ports. The one I have, a high end gigabyte had the pin-outs for one, and when they hooked it up at the place I bought it from, sonica labs, it worked fine with a mouse and such, but it won't work with the tripple talk. I don't know if the voltages are different on these new mobos or something different about the pins, the irq was right, but it made it to where the tripple talk wouldn't even voice it's tripple talk ready. So I do miss my speech in dos to tech with. Gonna have to find some other ways of doing things interactively.

Image for windows backs up both in windows and dos, but only restores in dos. Much as some would have us believe dos is dead, for this kind of software, it is not, although a small linux kernel is popular in some software. But this all happens under the hood so you generally don't have to mess with it unless you want to. But I have made many bootable cds and dvds, backed up to hard-disks, and external drives, and this thing will also do networked drives and such though i haven't done it yet. Since my spanking new 3 gig core duo powerhose doesn't have a serial port onboard, I have had to resort to the command line and booting with a floppy to restore images off another partition with no speech, and it's quicker than doing a dvd or cd. There are some cases where the boot image that is on your back-up set doesn't have the right driver for some of the new sata burners, and you might have to do some mods, but for the most part, you should be good to go by just running the software and it makes bootable media by default. Then if you need to just boot your system and feed it disks when it asks for them, I think it asks for the last disk first, and then spits it out and asks for the first one, and you'll know because if you didn't give it the right disk it'll spit it out and not accept it till you give it the right one. I've done custom boot disk integrating vocal-eyes and running custom drivers to boot usb burners and such too. So you can get a simple or complex as you want to be with it. There's lots of docs on the site and they mostly decrypt ok, but pdf is a pain in the butt no matter how you slice it. But tech support isn't bad the few times I've asked them a question. We really need speech to get access to more low level functions, for sys prep oriented tasks. On new machines that don't have serial support, and no speech drivers for usb at that level or sound card support, it makes it challenging. You can always do an unattended windows install, but this doesn't cover custom partitioning, and testing. Guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and learn a little linux hacking. Because we don't really have true accessibility if we only have access to the top levels of the os. maybe gw could be persuaded to help out some in this regard, a small linux distro with some generic sound card driver support, even if it was for popular generic usb devices like the edirol ua1 because the terabyte software works with dos windows and linux. This would give us a completely controlable way to interact with our backup software. How bout it guys, any interest? This is important since vocal-eyes is becoming no longer an option on new machines. it'd be imensely helpful to get a talking command prompt just to know where my drive letters were in dos, or to execute a command to partition or format a new drive, or even clean out a virus.

Have you been able to make a backup image on CD that you can restore automatically with a batch file or something like that? I'd really like to know how this is done and would appreciate any hints or help you can give me. Thanks.
