I checked the site and they still offer that drive. BUT a quick calculation
lerned thet for the amount of data I want to backup at one time the 8GB of a
travan tape is overdone.

The calculation even showed that I can just as well buy a cd writer for the
kind of money I'd spend on the tape drive and just _two_ TR4 tapes.
