FWIW: DAT's are available here in the US, have been for some time in all flavors. Both the 4mm & 8mm tape formats have no place in Pro Audio. They are consumer formats that any consumer can purchase.
I've been a professional audio engineer for over 30 years. Gold & Platinum records, Grammy nominations, Academy nominations, all that crap.
Don't get me started Martha. This ain't the forum....

How many of you own a Digital Audio Recorder (DAT)?
(most will say "not me")
You know why? Because the "music industry" has convinced the courts, that we would all be criminals, if we owned one! No crime has been commited, - yet we are all being punished! *Why!* Because we "might" copy music????? The "music industry" has "legally?", blocked the manufacturers from making these devices available.
DAT has been a distribution media standard in Europe, for some time now, - most people there have at least one (DAT recorder/player), in their home, - and we (in U.S. and Canada), can't even buy them. (except only, if one owns and/or operates a commercial recording studio).
What's wrong with this picture?
Oops..... I forgot, - we are criminals, - just looking for a crime to commit against the recordng industry......
