#Amiga Tape Backup
Have just installed a tape backup unit on my IBM clone. Cost was around
$269.00 to backup 120 Megs. It is great and a real time saver.
That in mind, tried to find a similar item for our Amiga 2000. Saw one or
two advertised….. nearly had a heart attack! Price asked was around $600
to $700. Who said Amiga hardware was low cost?
Surely…. if a tape drive backup for the PC can be made/sold in the
$200/300 range, why cannot the same be made and sold for the Amiga? It
would seem a golden opportunity for some enterprising OEM.
Perhaps some thoughtful Amiga programmer could come up with some software
which allows us to backup to perhaps a home VCR, at a cost of say $100.
What do you think? All the best….. Hilary.
