Micro-Solutions Backpack cd-rewriter driver

[angela7]

Hi,
I have the Micro-Solutions Backpack cd-rewriter (Model 192100). I bought a new computer with Windows XP, and I cannot find a driver that will work on this new system. Currently, when I try to copy files for backup in "Easy CD Creator", the error indicates that there are no supported CD-recorders available. Is there a driver that will support this older model of backpack, or am I doomed to buy a new cd-writer???

Thanks for your help,

People have been asking for XP mode drivers for older parallel-port models
like this one for years, and I haven't seen any valid leads. The
manufacturer is long gone, so I wouldn't expect to see anything in the
future.

Strangely enough, HP released an XP support disc for their ancient CD7100e
parallel port burner which is even older hardware (it's based on the
Philips CDD-3610 - the very first X2 drive). I don't know if the "Shuttle"
bridge chipset is the same as the Backpack, but it might be worth a try after
setting a system restore point for going back.

Another strategy is to remove the drive from the case and, if your
computer has an empty drive bay and a spare IDE controller plug, simply
use it as an internal drive.

Brand new CD/DVD burners are $25 a pop on eBay, NewEgg, and flea markets.
