BL> I have no experience with DAT storage. I guess I've got 200
 BL> floppies and I whenever I cycle them, I lose one or two. That's
 BL> 288Mb (approx one DAT tape), and two files stuffed a year. Is
 BL> DAT better than that?

 KR> rofl, thats not even one extended length qic-80 tape.

  Stop being norty and explain this techology to me.

1.  How much are they and where do I get it?
2.  Are they internal or external?
3.  Will they run off my I/O disc card or do I have to buy another?
4.  What's a tape worth and how much goes on it?
5.  How many Mb/minute?
6.  Chris says DAT is as reliable asa  hard disc. Do you agree?
7.  How can I become rich and famous?
8.  How can I win an argument with Rod Speed?

Regards,
Bob
