Better to spend $90 on something like a WD 1TB My Passport Portable External Hard Drive <http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=15_213_602&item_id=089777> than faff with tape. DAT-style drives and media just seem to self-destruct after a while. So many of my friends in the music industry have found that their cherished "DAT masters" are unreadable. cheers, Stewart --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
