[This *should* be a FAQ. If there's a canned answer for it, I'd appreciate a pointer. I didn't see a SCSI FAQ in news.answers or comp.periphs.scsi.] I'm getting ready to purchase a DAT drive. The last one I bought (years ago) was an Archive Python. It was a real pain to deal with, but when Sytos supported it, it worked well (until it died recently). I'm now considering an HP for no reason other than I think I recall it being supported by gnutar under OS/2. It would be great if I could get a drive that would let me read and write audio. I don't know where to look for this, though. Most of the places I called (from Computer Shopper) that advertised DAT drives asked questions like "What's D-A-T stand for?" (The other companies never had people available to talk to me.) So...any advice? Thanks. --kyler P.S. This is for a system running OS/2 Warp Connect. I have some Adaptec ISA and PCI SCSI adapters, but I'd be willing to buy another if necessary.
