VCR seen as PC storage device
Danmere launches a device that enables home users to backup PCs with VCRs.
A British firm has launched a storage device that enables home users to
backup PCs with VCRs.
Backer 32, from Danmere, allows users to store up to 4GB of information on one four-hour videotape.
The company is marketing the Windows-based storage product to the home user who may find the low price point more attractive than larger and pricier peripheral storage options like Zip drives. Backer 32 retails for a suggested price of $69, compared to Iomega's 100MB Zip drive, which costs around $200. Traditional hard drives go for still more.
Backer 32 is available directly from Danmere or through distributors.
