Very Computer

I have read the relevant HOWTO's etc., but would appreciate details
from those using Linux & DAT tape drives as to what hardware works.

We wish to set up a Linux server for a small UNIX lab, and want to
use a 2Gb DAT tape backup device.

Can anyone offer a suggestion as to what works.

I have a Sony SDT4000 that works ok on my Linux box, other than the
fact that I have had troubles reading tapes written on other machines.
I think that I just found the source of my problem in an earlier post
with the subject "Re: (Q) Compatibility between Linux and SUN 8mm tapes"

The drive works just fine on HP Series 700 machines and is a bit faster
than the HP DAT drive that I use at work.
