Christopher Smith said: SGI is one company that makes sure the DAT/DDS drives they sell do audio DAT too... I know that you can read/write audio tapes on an SGI you get if you buy the tape drive from them, and possibly using a drive from another manufacturer too. I imagine they do this since their machines are often used in high-end multimedia type things...sill, kind of a cool capability and all :) - Dan Wright (dtwright(a)uiuc.edu) (http://www.uiuc.edu/~dtwright) -] ------------------------------ [-] -------------------------------- [- ``Weave a circle round him thrice, / And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honeydew hath fed, / and drunk the milk of Paradise.''
