Magneto-Optical technology - one of the all-time best for backing-up - has fallen out of favor. As a result, MO drives and media can be had much more cheaply than Jaz. And it's much better. Try looking at a place like (would you believe) eBay. If you get something compatible with 1.3 Gb media, I have some that would love a new home. For back-ups, be careful not to buy "write- once" media, also sometimes referred to as WORM for "Write Once, Read Many". Get re-writable media. And if you should happen to run into driver difficulties, contact me off-list. I may be able to help. Roger Coincidence is far too important to be left to chance. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
