We have a Teac DC-1 "Data Cassette Streamer System", which uses special tapes that look like audio cassettes. They hold about 160M. We are using software supplied with the tape drive called SY-TOS version 3.00 EV-A (127296 bytes, 02-09-88 date stamp). This software doesn't do data compression. Does anyone have/or have seen a new version of SY-TOS that does data compression??? SY-TOS appears to be written by "Sytron Corporation". Does anyone have a phone number for these people?? We have had very good luck with this system. We have had no tapes fail (I verify every backup. We run backups each day of the week for different systems), and are using the drive with a LANtastic network. It is quite fast, and has saved me & data numerous times. It is a great improvement over DC-2000 backup systems (IMHO). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Link BITNET : LINKR @ VTVM1 VA.
