Kinmonth) Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 21 I run SCO Xenix 286 on an ATT 6310 with a 68 meg disk drive, two-thirds for Xenix, one-third for MSDOS. Generally, I produce 1.5-2.5 meg of changes per day, just enough to be inconvenient for 1.2 or 720k floppies. I am considering adding a tape drive and would appreciate suggestions, comments, horror stories, whatever. Please reply by mail to one of the addresses given in the signature block. If quantity/quality of replies warrant, I will summarize and post. Please consider both the cost/convenience of the drive and the tapes. Xenix backup is more important to me than MSDOS backup. Thanks in advance. E H. Kinmonth Hist. Dept.
