Me again.

I'm looking at buying a backup unit from:

VideoTrax
3501 Sunflower
PO Box 25059
Santa Ana, CA 92799

The unit apparently plugs into the Mac as a SCSI device, and acts as
an interface to a VCR, allowing you to store data on standard Video tapes.
For VHS, apparently a 3.5 hour tape can store 80 megs.

So, to the point:  Anybody got any experience with one of these?  Would
you recommend?  You know, all that "feed me some info" stuff.  Opinions
gladly accepted.  From the little I know, I get the impression that
it would be a cost-effective and efficient means to do backups.

Thanks,
--
