This will probably be done on a Sun system. The Summer 1988 issue of Sun Technology has an add by Interscience Computer Corporation in which they claim to "back-up 1.2 GigaBye in 30 minutes with our cartridge tape drive". Further details; 1.2 Gigabye capacity, formatted 764 Kb/sec transfer rate 512 Kb cache MegaTape standard 1/2" cartridge Pertec or SCSI interface Advanced error correction Auto cartridge load Extensive diagnostics and data calibration They can be reached at (818) 707-2000. I don't know this company other than by this add; I have no connection to them whatsoever. I just happened to finish reading this magazine just before your message. -- Eelco van Asperen. uucp: evas@eurtrx / mcvax!eurtrx!evas #includeearn/bitnet: asperen@hroeur5 #include "We'ld like to know a little bit about you for our files" - Mrs.Robinson, Simon & Garfunkel
