I remember test driving a VCR system on a VAX over 6 years ago - I think
it was called DIGIDATA and have seen a site which uses one. However, it
was quickly overtaken by 8mm.

However, I attended a presentation last year (by CONVEX) which referred
to a 2nd attempt to harness the technology with much improved capacity
and data rates - forgotten the name, but DD2 comes to mind.

Cheers,
	Mark
