Where exactly are the QIC-157 Tape Drivers on the CD?

I've just installed Win2000 on my machine (fresh install.. no upgrade). It found everything and installed the drivers... except... my Aiwa SCSI tape drive.

Well, it found it, but it's labeled as an Unknown device. My problem is that I need to install the QIC-157 tape drivers for it but have no clue where it is on the CD...

So... where are they?

Had to update everyone (who is interested) on this...

I finally got the Aiwa drive to work.. trick was to install the driver by telling Win2K that it was a tape drive, and then selecting the QIC-157 IDE tape drivers....

yep... IDE... go figure...

Not surprised though... the Aiwa drive is a SCSI and it used to use the QIC floppy driver... so now it uses the IDE driver... ;-)
