I am the recipient of an aged WangDAT 2600 drive that seems to work.
By seems, I mean, I have a "DDS-90" (90m, I guess?) tape that I can 
successfully tar to and from.  I practiced using my /home partitions
(2.0G) as something to try to backup and restore.  So far it looks good,
but I only have teh one "test" tape.

I would like to buy some more tapes, but don't know what I should
buy.  More of the DDS-90 tapes?  What is the native capacity of this
drive?  What about hardware compression?  (I read somewhere that
WangDAT has it's own non-DDS-2 hardware compression.)  Any help would be
appreciated...
