Does anyone out there know of a TAPE SYSTEM that is usable for backup (and cheap) that runs via the RS-232 port on a PC? I would like to start a backup and go away, like I can when I need to duplicate a whole directory tree and I am using Brooklyn Bridge. I have no more slots, so if there is a tape drive that can RS-232 at 115K baud, I think I want it. The more details you can give, the better, like where and how much, etc. Thanks! - Jay -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jay Bowden, EE/Consultant; see also Bowden Engineering Currently contracted at Loral Instrumentation, San Diego {ucbvax, ittvax!dcdwest, akgua, decvax, ihnp4}!ucsd!loral!jcb

This is probably not what you want, but DEC TU58 drives (are they still made?) are RS-232. They can sometimes be found at various surplus houses. TU-58's ran at 9600 baud (or slower) and wrote to the little tiny tapes. Alan Groupe
