[comp.periphs] Digital Audio Tape info. request

jeffp@phred.UUCP (Jeff Parke) (10/14/89)

I am interested in what anyone can tell me about the potential use of DAT
for storage of computer data.
Some questions:

Are there any DAT-based disk backup devices in the works or for sale?

Are DAT drives potentially portable and battery operable?  I.e. could one be
used as a remote data logger, running on battery power for a day or so?

Please respond to me via email, & I'll summarize for the net.  Thanks.
