I'm looking for a cheap archive (not backup) device.  This is to keep
medium size collections of source code (.1 to 2.0MB) and other archives
in a way they're easily retrievable.

It should have
  o  cheap standard removable media
  o  be reasonably cheap to buy
  o  capacity of at least 1MB
  o  writable as 'raw' device by 'tar', etc

It need not
  o  be mountable as a file system (tho it'd be nice)
  o  have fast seek/transfer rates

It sounds like a 1.4Mb floppy disk would do.  They're in DECStations,
they're in Suns, they must exist . . . can anybody point me at a
manufacturer?
