I came this close to buying one of those babies this week. I need a
really good excuse to buy one, can you offer something? <G> I wish
my tape drive would go south on me or some client would demand files
on a zip disk. The drive specs out at 29ms seek time which is
probably more than twice as slow as your hard drive but should be
lightning compared to tape or floppy. You can get the drives in SCSI
or parallel for less than $200 and a 3 pack of disks for less than
$50. For me this product is almost something I need. I have a
Syquest drive so I can get large files to the printer, I have a tape
backup so I can archive files and I've got a floppy drive for saving
small stuff.
