That's it! Of course I picked `Europe', and the autoloader is missing from the
Rev product page over there. If you pick `North America', it's easily found...

One possible difference, the first webpage gave me geographical choices. I picked "North America". Using their search tool for "autoloader 1000" then gave me many hits. Here is a horrid one -- got to learn to use "tinyurl" :) http://www.iomega.com/na/products/product_detail.jsp ?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=21365191&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id =16006169&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=63191 That is one long url I've split.

I did found the Rev on their website, but nothing about a 10-drive autoloader?

Interesting hardware
Iomega, of Zip-Drive fame, has a new removable harddrive format called "Rev". It currently is 35GB capacity. That is not the interesting hardware. The interesting item is they have comeout with a 10 drive autoloader. So now you can backup to a harddrive that can be removed to offsite storage and can automatically change drives for each dump. -- Jon H.
