[hi, dad. did the line-eater get this?]

mass-storage backup unit (preferably cartridge tape) that will connect
to my PC's serial port to back-up my (10-Mbyte) hard disk? I can't
really justify the purchase of a dedicated (tape) backup system, but if
it could be used with several PCs - which is why I suggest using the
serial port, 'cause we all have those installed - then maybe I could
swing the bucks out of my boss (or his boss, or his boss' boss...).

Yes, I know it would be slow. But if the backup unit can hold the full
10 Mbytes without switching cartridges (or any other operator
intervention) then I could start it when I leave the office, and let it
run until completion.  The next day I'd store away the tape and be able
to move the backup-unit on to the next PC.

Reply to the net (net.micro.pc, please) as others may be interested,
too..
