You didn't hear this from me, but there is a company about to release a tape
backup system for the Amiga that is low-cost and works through the floppy port.
I've seen it; the backup software is very slick.  And there's even more juicy
stuff about it that I can't even hint at.  It's not a 120 meg drive, but it's
from CMS originally.  

So just give it a few weeks or however long it's going to take (I know there
is a deadline involved, I just don't know when).
