Why do I have to use data tapes in a DAT backup system?
Surely a DAT is digital data too.
Or is it only the mechanics that are the same, and the electronics
are different to achieve a higher data rate?
If so, what other DAT systems will be compatible with my HP DAT?
(ie who can send me DAT tapes, and who can I send them to?).

Thanks in advance - Gary
