Anyone out there have any experience with Videotrax's tape
backup unit that utilizes an existing VCR. Conceptually
(and economically) I like the idea, but does it work. It
does seem slow (1 Mb/1.3 minutes) but I can live with that
for the price and capacity... $199 for the board with the
capability of 150 Mb on a T-120 tape. Appreciate anything
anyone has on it.
