I am looking to buy a removable mass storage system to replace my ever
growing collection of floppies and to backup my two 40MByte hard disks. I
have been looking at various options, including flopticals and syquest
drives and, at the moment, a 44MByte syquest drive looks to be the best
solution. Anyone got any other suggestions? Is anyone selling any
second-hand flopticals/syquest drives (obviously, this is only any good if
the vendor lives close to here, i.e. in south-east England). Can I expect to
get anything much cheaper from a non-Acorn supplier (I already have a SCSI
card). If so, how much cheaper. I will probably go and have a look round the
computer shopper show (talking of which, is anyone else going - perhaps we
could arrange a meet). In case it makes any difference, I have a 4MByte
A5000 with Risc-OS 3.10 and a 16 bit uncached Morley SCSI card. Please mail
any comments on this subject direct to me and I will summerise in a posting.

Thanks,

Mark Smith.

See you at the ARM Club open day - Sunday 15th November, Mill Hill School, N. London.
