Hello:

I´m trying to find a Windows 98SE driver for HP Ultrium 215 tape drive. Such drive is an Ultrium-1 tape drive, it was the first Ultrium tape drive HP released, according the specs this tape drive supports Windows 98SE, but I have tested 1.0.1 version of hplto.sys but does not work (Windows 98 does not recognize hplto.sys, hplto.inf and hplto1_0.cat, moreover hplto.inf states this is a Windows 2000 driver. Does someone has the HP 215 Ultrium driver for Windows 98? Here is the hplto.inf file:

Sorry, can find drivers for most Windows versions - NT, XP, Vista, W2K, W2k3, W2K8 - but not 9x 🙁 , despite the brief mention in the specs. Are you planning on using an HP backup/restore package, as maybe a 3rd party one might have 9x support.
