Hi!

     I've sold my cube and am going to need a backup device for my
color station. I'm not real wild about using floppy. On the other hand,
I only have a 660 to back up and don't want to spend an arm and a leg
for a zowie-super-density-gee-it's-fast-and-small device. A simple
device that is SCSI and has > 15 Meg per media should be fine. (Of
course cost per media should be reasonable too.)

     I'm certainly open to suggestions. I've seen a relly coolo 20
meg floppy'esque drive for $400, but the media cost is WAY too high!
In general for device + media for two complete backups I'd like to
keep below $600 or so.

     So: What are people using?

Thanks! I'll sumarize if there is a desire.

-Chris
