Has anyone taken a look at interfacing a Colorado Memory Systems Streaming Tape Backup unit to an Amiga? I'm seeing these units advertised for about $250 with cartridges going for about $30. The units apparently interface to an IBM compatible XT/AT/PS2 floppy controller and depending on softare (compression/nocompression), a single cartridge will handle 40,60 or 120 megabytes. At first glance it would seem that we are merely looking at having a device driver written for it. Anyone up to writing a PD or shareware version? The Amiga world certainly needs a low cost HD backup method and this looks like it might be it if only someone would handle the interface. Greg
