I'm not sure this is the right group to post this, but ...

Are there DAT units that could be used to record/play music and serve as a
tape backup for a Macintosh computer?  Would this have to be a pro unit, or
are there consumer units oufitted with the right sort of digital I/O?

Stated differently, are any of the DAT tape backup units advertised in
computer magazines also suitable for music?  That is, do they have the right
inputs (RCA or XLR or something) and digital/analog converters? Or can
suitable add-on components do this?

And finally... Where can I find out about this kind of thing?

Thanks for any help!
