Hear, hear.  Soon, someone will figure out how to transfer raw data between
the Amiga and a DAT (Digital Audio Tape) drive.  This is just too good of
an idea for it not to happen.  Then, not only will you have a wonderful
device for hard-disk backups, all you need is an audio source to make it
a sound digitizer as well.
