From a message by IAIN ALLEN to RJ FRIEDMAN on 05-05-1993:
 
IA] For less than the Floptical, the
IA] tape unit I have, will backup my 210Meg hard drive.  It still looks more
IA] cost effective, and including a CD-ROM would still be useful with OS/2,
IA] and only double the cost perhaps.
 
Yes, for right now tape is still cheaper - but the prices will come
down over the next year or two - it's kind of like where CD-ROM was two
years ago.
