	the TEAC is sold by several companies which add a box and power-
	supply and some software for under $1k.

	you can also buy the mechanism for under $500 and stick it into
	a box yourself.

	There are several backup programs that work with the drive,
	FastBack, Retrospect, something from Nuvolabs and, probably,
	Redux.  From my experiments, I'd prefer Retrospect over Fastback.
