I think that I want to buy either an HP 35480A 5(8)Gb, or an Archive  
4352XP 2(8)Gb DAT drive for backup purposes.

1) What is your experience with the reliability, support of these two  
drives.

2) Do these use different formats.  If so, then which format would be more  
amenable to sharing data with other NeXTs, Suns, or Macs (i.e. which  
format is prevalent in the NeXT/Sun/Mac world).

Any other comments are welcomed -- I'll summarize.
