My company has had a problem with Segate BackupExec and IBM 300GL systems for many months. IBM’s engineering division responded with the following suggestion.
***
1. Boot the system to ms dos prompt type C:\edit Config.sys. Add the following line and save the file
DEVICE=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS
buffers=55
2. at the dos prompt type edit C:\autoexec.bat and add files statement after and then save and exit
@echo off
files=110
3. reboot your system and system should run without incident. These two statements are often the way to rectify Tape Backup problems under 95.

What I find odd is the placement of the files= statement in the autoexec.bat file. I have been in the PC industry for over 6 years and this is the first time I have seen this. Needless to say, the problem has not been rectified.
Question–Will Win95 execute this statement or ignore it?
