- You can pick up an A3070 for $349 from the Software Hut in PA. As to whether
- you will be able to connect it to an IBM scsi controller, I haven't the foggiest.
- But if you are successful, I think you will be pretty much stuck with TAR. You
- see you need a program that works the same on both platforms or you will not be
- able to restore the data from on system to the other. (ie. You can not use
- Ami-Back to restore a tape made with QuarterBack.)
