Mike, I know of one project to add VCR backup capability, but I don't know if it is still in the works or not. The main problem is one of capacity and reliability. If you have a decent capacity, accuracy becomes a problem. Consumer-grade VCRs are one of the worst ways to store computer data that I can think of. It is far easier to use a real data quality tape drive. -larry
