DAT is the same as DDS except for the identification holes on the
case, and I would assume a royalty to the recording industry...
My Maynard/Archive/Seagate drive won't take DAT tapes. Irritating
because I wanted to write music to them at the time.

Actually, there are FIVE formats: DAT, DDS,
DDS-2, DDS-3, and DDS-4.
I don't know the exact differences between DAT and DDS, but most
drives won't accept a DAT tape...
I thought DAT was the audio format (48Khz, 16[?}bit, up to 4 channels),
and the tapes are pretty identical to DDS?
I do have a DDS (DDS2, I think) drive that will read/write audio DAT in
my Indigo2.
