  13. Is it possible to use a VCR as a backup device.  What hardware and 
  14. software would be needed?  I,m trying to come up with a cheap way of
  15. storing large amounts of data.  If the hardware does not exist would it
  16. be difficult to construct(ie. what would be required).  I would
  17. appreciate any(!!) enlightenment on this subject(reasons it will or 
  18. won't work, etc.).
