one of those, so I can't say for certain.
Ah, that rings a bell. I remember someone bringing us a DAT (not DDS)
tape and it not being accepted.
The DAT tapes I have (going back to 60meter DDS-1) all
have this media
recognition system that the drives are supposed to respect, or so I
thought. Did I think wrong?
No, that sounds right.
