Re: Transfer data between two comps without network
I highly recommend you check out the Ecra VXA-1. Check out www.ecrix.com. I've got one
on order right now. It's also Linux certified (I forget who does that Linux hardware
certification thingy but they did it). The specs were more than enough to get me. They
have a special offer right now for first-time US buyers (sorry Dariush). Here's the
excerpt from my VXAdata newsletter:
SPECIAL OFFER FOR FIRST-TIME U.S. BUYERS
Now you can evaluate the VXA drive -completely- free for
30 days. And, if you decide to keep it, get big savings.
Internal Kit, only $399, External Kit, only $499. Offer
good only in the US, until May 31, by going to:
http://www.ecrix.com/eval
I'm thinking of finally getting a nice tape drive for home.
