    I second that. I recently saw some Mac 40 Meg SCSI tape drives at a local
electronics store for $129. I have been wanting to get one, but know that I
can't do the software driver needed. I would like to connect it to the
connector on the rear of the A2091 board in my new A2000. Being able to 
backup the entire 40M hard drive on one tape would be nice. Even nicer if it
could be done as a background task while I was doing something else.
