A funnything about AI's VCR backup... the two picture ads with the VCR and
hard disk had a standard PC drive controller card sitting in front of the
VCR. 

Corvus did have a system they called Mirror that was available built in

as an optional box on the OmniNet series drives for using a standard
VCR to backup..
