[comp.sys.mac] Cheap 150 Meg tape backup

steph@maui.cs.ucla.edu (08/03/89)

The Teac 150 Meg tape backup unit is available directly from Teac for $455.
The default configuration seems to cause problems with other SCSI disks. It
does work though because I got it to work with a SE floppy only system. I'm
waiting for the manual to see what I need to change to get it to work. If
anyones interested I'll post my results and changes required to get it to work
with Macs. If you're handy with hardware this may be an option for you. If
you're not I don't recommend it. You also need a case and power suppply.
Available from Tulin for $139.

Werner Uhrig and others at U of T and I have been exploring doing a group
buy of these.  If anyone is seriously interested in participating, please
send me mail.  We're not ready to buy yet - we're still determining prices.
