You ( David Kelly ) write: => They were written on 4mm DAT? Not something weird like QIC-100? Saw an => HP "development system" which wrote QIC-100 format to DC-6150 tapes, I => think. Tapes had to be formatted. Then they mounted like a filesystem. => Slower than a tax refund. Nope, it was an actual DAT. => In the early bad old days of DAT (more correctly known as DSS) there => were more problems than there should have been with one tape drive not => being able to read tapes from another, all other things the same. Now this could be a good case, since I remember ordering a DDS drive somewhere around 1889. -- Internet Access Eindhoven BV., voice: +31-40-2 393 393, data: +31-40-2 606 606 P.O. 928, 5600 AX Eindhoven, The Netherlands Full Internet connectivity for only fl 12.95 a month.
