- Well, I am looking to buy a tape drive for my home OS/2 system as soon
- as I find one that will work with my ISA 386 machine. I can't stand
- sitting by the computer for two hours inserting floppies all night to
- make a backup. One good 150MB tape system would solve all my
- problems...
-
- I may not be getting paid for it, but my time at home is valuable
- enough that I don't want to waste it in front of the computer.
