Hi, can anybody explain where the differences are in different
capacity DAT drives ?
I thought the DAT is a standard, so capacity should be function of
the tape length. And every DAT should be able to read every others
tape.

Which of those is a misconception on my side ?
Also I would like to know about peoples experiences in putting
a sony sdt1000 tape and a scsi2 disk (possibly maxtor) on one
controller.
Will the adaptec (which modell), the Ultrastore (spelling ?) or
a dtc-3280as do fine ?
(Under DOS/WINDOWS/SCOUNIX/posibbly LINUX ?)

Thanx for sharing your knowledge or experience
Arnd
