Has anyone ever heard of a way to back up a hard drive to a VCR? A company makes such a device for the IBM, but they never finished developing a Mac version. The IBM one, is a card that sends the data over an RCA line to the recorder. You set the recorder to record at a certain time and configure the software to do the same. A normal VCR tape can hold 240 megs! They may be slow, but who cares if it can be done unattended? The company was trying to develope one that would connect to the Mac's SCSI port. Is there a company that has such a device? What is their phone number? Also,how much does it cost (the IBM version costs $200). Thanks in advance! David M. Manning University of Massachusetts
