I apologize if this is the wrong newsgroup for a for sale post
(and if so, I'd appreciate email as to an appropriate group for this).

ICD Fast Tape Backup unit for the Atari St.  Purchased in 1989 for
around $800.  The unit works fine and is in good condition.  I haven't
used it for about a year and a half or more -- since my hard drive died
(my main machine is now a 80486).  30-day money back guarantee.  $200.

If interested, you can email me at:
jcochran@nyx.cs.du.edu

or call me at:
303-449-3315
