[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.

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.
