I remember reading on the net about a card that can be used to hook up to a VCR and one can backup data using the VCR. It sounds like a good alternative to buying a tape subsystem because I have an old VCR sitting around gethering dust. PC-Connection was mentioned. However, when I phoned, the person on the otherside of the line said that they do not carry the card anymore. Is the card still being made? Is there other sources where such card can be found? Does anyone has more info about the card? Thanks in advance! -- Peter Yeung Amdahl Canada Ltd., Software Development Center 2000 Argentia Road, Plaza 2, Suite 300 Mississauga, Ont.

For the same price, you could buy >a Colorado Backup system, that will beat the pants off the VCR Backup (we're PC Connection sells a $99 card to do just this. You just need a spare VCR. If you already have one that you use for movies you might as well use it for back- ups. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
