QUES: Tape backup or SyQuest... (NOT warp, mac, win95!)



Firstly, has the FAQ been updated since 7/10/94?  I've lost the ftp site 
at which the faq is stored, and 7/10 is my most recent downloaded copy.

Secondly, I'm looking for external backup of some kind.  So far it looks 
like I'll be flipping a three sided coin to choose between:
  Colorado Trakker
  BackPack 250MB tape
  SyQuest 270MB
I've heard nothing but rave reviews of the Trakker.  Will it run suitably 
quickly on the EPP of my TP360?  Is there a real difference between the 
Trakker and the BackPack, and do either of these cause problems on 
anyone's TP setups?

For the extra money, does anyone have an external SyQuest working happily 
on their 'pad?  In the most recent BYTE to make it to southern shores, a 
reseller has SyQuest 'internal, SCSI and parallel' models.  Is the 
parallel SyQuest new, or did a secretary make a mistake?  I'm trying 
desperately to find a dealer here who knows more than the pricelist.

As this is not *directly* TP related, it would be best to reply directly 
to me, and I'll summarise to the list.

Wishing things were a little cooler,
Rohan.
