What version of Fastback? There were two major variations. Initially, Fastback had its own floppy drivers and format. The simplest way to restore from that is to get an XT- or AT-speed system (the program uses programmed delay loops so a fast CPU won't do the job) and the original program (I think I still have it). A subsequent version (Fastback II) used standard BIOS formatting and was more straightforward. Is something wrong with your system? I can barely read the message for all the typos. --Chuck
