[comp.sys.mac.hardware] DAT backup device for $1600?

eacj@theory.tn.cornell.edu (Julian Vrieslander) (12/04/90)

I saw a note in one of the weeklies that Hewlett-Packard was introducing
a DAT backup device, with 8 Gigabyte capacity, for $1600.  But the price
may be for OEM purchasers.

I have not yet been able to get any information about this device, other
than a referral from H-P to one of their component distributors (a sales-
person is trying to track down some literature for me).

Does anyone know if this product is (or will be) available as a ready-to-run
peripheral for a Mac?  If so, at what cost?  I would *love* to buy a DAT
box for our lab, but the prices are way too high at present.
