One of the best solutions today is a large external hard drive, since ATA/IDE
hard drives are so inexpensive. You can connect the drive via USB or a
parallel port with an external drive enclosure. Using SCSI will be more
expensive, but if you stay to a 9gig drive, the whole thing will cost less than
going with a JAZZ drive, including a generic SCSI card. I like this method
best, as the data transfer speeds are high and you can also use the drive
like any other drive on the system.
