- There is a recent discussion about tape drives for the Atari. Because of
- the high list price I was lloking for an alternative. At the Atari Fair in
- Dusseldorf I found it. It was a pitty they where not yet in production
- but I ordered one anyway. It is a video streamer. It uses a standard VCR
- which has to be equiped with a scart connector as backup device. It backups
- 600 Mb on a E240 tape. So about 2.5 Mb per minute. It can make image backups
- as well as file backups and restores visa versa. I don't have the address of
- the German company on hand. If anyone wants some more info, drop me a mail.
-
- BTW the listprice of the device, which connects on the parallel port, is about
- DM249,- which is at the current ratio about $180,-

- Greetings from the Netherlands.
