     What is necessary in order to run a tape backup system on an Amiga 2000
with an A2090?  Will this require a hardware/firmware change to the A2090?
Will the necessary device drivers be available before (or in) 1.4?

     I think that CBM needs to provide for some sort of reasonable tape backup
support in order for business to take the Amiga seriously.

     Also, will CBM be adding more general support for non-disk SCSI devices?
Is support for additional SCSI host computers (i.e. SCSI networking) out of
the question?

     Please don't take this message as a flame.  I simply would like to know
what support will be added to the A2090 (and approximately how soon.)


                             Thank you,
