DAT Drive

[Mike Friese]

I just used an almost identical DDS-2 drive today on my 8500 to restore 
an accidentally deleted file. The DAT requires Retrospect, not Retrospect 
Express. Even very old copies of Retrospect will operate this drive.

If you get you DAT working, you will also need a tape cleaning cartridge.
