Micro Solutions Ships Backpack 800T Travan Tape Backup Drive

June 21, 1995 -- Micro Solutions released a new higher capacity QIC-80 tape
backup drive on June 21,1995. The new backpack 800T uses the innovative
Travan technology that is a cutting edge development in the QIC tape drive
industry. The Travan backpack 800T drive gives users access to a cost
effective tape backup solution that optimizes their hard disks. It stores
up to 800MB of data, which will allow most people the convenience of
backing up their entire hard drive on a single TR-1 tape.

Another benefit provided by the backpack 800T tape backup drive is backward
compatibility. The drive can use Travan TR-1, QIC-Wide, EC or any QIC-80
tape cartridge. It will also read and write QIC-80 tapes and read QIC-40
tapes.

The backpack 800T plugs into a standard parallel printer port. It comes
with a printer pass through on the back of the drive so you can plug your
printer into the backpack tape drive without disrupting normal print
operation. It provides the easiest, most reliable and most cost effective
way to backup your valuable data.

The new backpack 800T tape drive retails for $379.00 U.S.D. It includes
free Windows and DOS backup software, a free TR-1 tape cartridge and has a
two-year warranty. The backpack 800T joins the existing line of backpack
parallel port drives. Backpack drives don't require an interface card so
they can be used with both portable and desktop computers. Backpack drives
work with IBM PCs, portables and any other computer with a 100% compatible
IBM parallel port.

It has a new sleek enclosure design which is attractive, light weight and
durable. It has the smallest footprint of any parallel port tape drive in
the market. Another key feature of the new design is the detachable data
cable. This makes the backpack 800T tape backup drive very easy to
transport.
