When you say "helical-scan" don't you mean 8mm? I have had nothing but trouble with DDS/DAT drives. I understand that some 8mm technologies are very reliable. Is the VXA based on 8mm, DDS or something new? They have been running the boiling-water gimmick in their ads, you know. :-) At 06:40 AM 11/11/1999 -0700, Eric Lee Green wrote: >I'm sorry, but while the OnStream is in all ways the penultimate of QIC >technology, it will never have the reliability and speed of helical-scan >technology.
