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. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | M M AAA RRRR K K Janet email: ee91mds2@brunel.ac.uk | | MM MM A A R R K K Subject: Microelectronic Systems Design | | M MM M AAAAA RRRR KK Establishment: Brunel University, U.K. | | M M A A R R K K | | M M A A R RR K K |
