Hi Martin,
I used to have another machine with a SCSI interface, but I don't have any
of it left. I have ordered a ZuluSCSI emulator.
I am going to try and hook it up in addition to the RZ25. There are cables
for a second drive but I think I need to rotate
the RZ25 a quarter turn for the emulator to fit as a second drive. Or, I'll
hook it up as an external SCSI device.
That way I should be able to setup other drives I can use. Perhaps I'll
just take the RZ25 out and put it in a box on a shelf.
I'll have to see. But there are definitely options.

Even easier if you have all the bits to hand, SCSI tends to require a
selection of cables, adapters and terminators to make it fly
A DC power cable and 50-way ribbon may suffice for an RZ-25

They are expensive.
Can you get a scsi drive and attach it to your mv ? Doesn’t it have an
external connector?
Or buy an older cheap desktop and use your scsi cards.
I have an old Dell desktop that i use for ide drives and also have a pci
scsi card to use.

Good idea!
But do you know an inexpensive USB-SCSI adapter? The last time I was
looking for one I only found a few that were REALLY expensive,
unfortunately.
I own some older ADAPTEC PCI SCSI adapters, but that does not help me with
my notebook.

Nice program.
Has the resultant backup been tested? I mean can you restore and boot it?
