This letter is in reference to Frank Cohen's article on the World of Atari Show at Disneyland from the September '89 issue of ST-LOG. First, I would like to point out that the ICD FA-ST Tape Backup does not use "audiotapes." While our data cassette uses the same type of "Phillips compact cassette" shell used by audiotapes, the media and hardware inside the shell are very different.
    Frank's comparison of our ICD FA-ST Tape Backup system to the Seymor/Radix DVT also incorrectly leads people to believe that the DVT is faster than the ICD product. In spite of the claims made in their flyer, DVT is now said to make backups at 300K per minute, about one-third the speed originally advertised. That makes the ICD FA-ST Tape system about 2,000% faster.
