As usual my supervisor sets a great deadline ... this Friday !!!!!!

Does anyone have info. about DAT's for computers. e.g.
-Drivers exist for what machines. unix, VAX???
-1 tape = 1 GByte. Is this correct?
-How fast is it. I've heard it has 10 times the useful speed of an 
 Exabyte drive. Is this true?
-Cost.
-Will the world go Exabyte or DAT?

Opinions, brochures, articles, all is welcome.
I'll listen or photocopy anything you got.
