I just got off the phone with SLAS Webmeister Ken (I'm glad he works the same hours I do). He said there's still a goodly bit of work to be done but he hopes to have something up and running in time to demo it at this month's SLAS board meeting. I asked him about such things as backups and reliability. He says he makes multiple backups and that his drives are rated for 1 million hours of continuous use. patrick
