I've been using a 600 Meg casette drive. It's a Teac mechanism (MT-2ST/F50) and  
I bought it from Relax, a mac outfit (510-471-6112;ask for Raylene @ X 240) for  
just under $800. I've been very happy with it. I back up my 400MB drive in  
about 30-40 minutes using dump. It comes in 2 different style enclosures. I  
recommend the portable one, as they've had some grounding problems with the  
other enclosure (called a "vista" enclosure by Relax.)
