I am interested in obtaining a tape back up unit for my
AT&T 3b2. Ideally, I want a device which I can share with
others in my department. They use other computers, such as
Unix PC, IBM PC, Ridge. Therefore, what I want is something
which can just be "plugged in" to any of these machines
and then be used to do a back-up onto (for example) a
cartridge tape. The RS-232 serial port would be fine (yes,
I realize that would be slow, but I don't mind waiting
over night). Also a Centronics parallel port is available
on some of these machines (would that be faster?).

I'd appreciate names of products and (if possible) addresses
where I can get more information. 

Thanks,
