Does anyone know of a large capacity (>500 Mbyte) backup device 
that can be installed on a 4D/70?  At first I thought that an
Exabyte drive would be nice since it has a SCSI interface, but
we have not been able to find anyone who has installed this
drive on a 4D.  It is however interesting to note that I know
of one vendor who wants to install this drive on a 4D, but
has been unable to interest Silicon Graphics in the project.
 
If anyone out there beside me is interested in this type of an item
maybe we should "send a petition" to silicon graphics and request 
such an item.
