Does anybody have the dump parameters for dumping to a 4mm DAT drive (Eclipse
if that really matters), for both 60M and 90M cartridges?

Right now we're just making sure we don't dump more than over a gig or so to
each tape (and we tell it the tape's pretty damn big too... :-) ) but we'd
like to make things a little more robust and automated than that.

Any help would be 'preciated. Thanks.

[also, while I'm here, how much do these things go for nowadays?  It just
kinda showed up because someone else asked for it... and they're cute :-)]
