About the best capacity for the dollar (IMHO) is the OnStream tape drives. Runs under Win9x and NT. An IDE unit that will back up 15 gb uncompressed (~30 gb compressed) sells for $299.95. Tapes are ~ $40 each. I have been running the 50GB SCSI version on the network with no problems and good performance. David V. Fansler Network Administrator TriPath Imaging, Inc.
