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

Hello Arnd
I have a HP-DAT drive called Modell 2000. I can use tapes with the length
60m and 90m. 60m have a cpacity of 1,2GB and 90m of 2GB.
But there is another drive called Modell 2000DC. With this drive it is 
possible to power up your capacity to 8GB. The DDS-format of the
2000DC has been extended to include data compression (DDS-DC)
bye
