     I am in the market for a SCSI tape drive in the 40-80 Meg range,
costing less than $800.  I don't know much about what kind of units
are available, but I do know that if I have to perform a
backup/restore of a hard disk using floppies ONE MORE TIME, I am going
to lose my mind.

     Anyone with experience in this area, or knowledge of an
especially good bargain, please send me some Email.  I will summarize
in another posting if I get enough replies.

     Also, does anyone know about "MacProducts USA," in Austin?  They
advertise a 60mb tape system for $699.  Has anyone out there purchased
this unit, and what does she have to say about it?
