I am looking for a good backup unit for A/UX. I have considered the Apple SC40 tape, but it is pricey and uses a cartridge that is not common in the UNIX world. My preferences for equipment would be: 1) A tape system that used UNIX industry standard formats, such as QIC-24. It would need to have an A/UX driver available for access via tar or cpio. [Best.] 2) A removable cartridge disk, in the 40MB+ range, that A/UX could mount and umount as a file system. (I'm told that there may be problems sending the hardware eject commands.) [Good.] 3) A tape that used some other format, but that could deal with both MacOS and A/UX. I would want to backup entire A/UX partitions and be able to use tar or cpio for individual files. [OK.] If you can help, please contact me. Thanks. Hal Jespersen POSIX Software Group 447 Lakeview Way Redwood City, CA 94062 Phone: +1 (415) 364-3410 FAX: +1 (415) 364-4498 UUCP: uunet!posix!hlj
