Iomega do one at 1Gb uncompressed (2Gb compressed), as do Colorado (both
are available in 'floppy' interface and printer port versions), the former
for around DM 400 (US$200).  Iomega also has one at 2Gb uncompressed but
I haven't seen it or prices yet.

Backup and restore times are not that dissimilar to those using faster
interfaces, because it's largely limited by the tape speed.  A couple of
hours per Gb.
