Is anyone out there running a DDS DAT 4mm helical scan tape off a SCSI controller on an ISA PC? If so, I'd be interested in knowing what type of controller and drive you're using and what problems you may have encountered. What vendor did you purchase from? Is low level read/write source code available? Does the controller get along with standard SCSI disk drives as well? Is it a 16-bit controller? What are the sustained transfer rate specs? Vendors: Feel free to send info and (educational) price quotes. (Note that we're currently getting WangDAT drives for $1400, so you might want to quote controllers separately.)
