Good Evening,


    This is my first append but, I promise they will get better. Now
for the fun part.

Is ReadySoft making the VCR Backup system, or is it someone else?
 I know that an IBM version exists that allows you to backup 270 MB
 on one standard 8 hr. video cassette. This is of major importance
 to me because I now have over 130 MB of Hard Disk storage on my
 Amiga 2000. 126 floppies is alot of fun :}

Does anyone know of a low cost tape drive that will work with the
 Amiga 2000 or with a 2090 ? If so , who , what, when , and how much?

Last Question, Can the Amiga support multiple monitors like the PC?
 By this I mean two seperate displays showing different things ie.
 1- text/ 1 graphics or 2 graphics????
 I know this works because at work I use a PS/2 80 with two monitors
 one displaying DOS and my application running and the other display
 shows a GDDM terminal emulator. Both are running ie. Multi-tasking
 under DOS 3.3. Now I know the Amiga is a fantastic machine but
 shouldn't we have the ability to display two views of the same 3-D
 object on two seperate monitors?????? Hmm????
