[net.micro.pc] Backup unit connected to serial port

I sent off for some info from Pegasus, who makes (sells?) a couple
of drives which do just that. At least one model has buffering and
can run at 9600 baud.

It looked interesting (from their ad in Byte), but I got NO answers
to my questions when I sent off for info. Specifically, I asked about
software to drive the beast, and if the unit performed read-after-write
verification. All they sent me was a couple of 1 page spec sheets.

The price looked about right ($395-$595, depending on options). But
I really couldn't get enough info from what they sent to make a
rational decision. Has anyone messed with this thing??
