[Duo2400] DAT Drive

[Edgar Peinelt]

Brian,
DAT drives are not supposed to appear as a volume on the desktop. They need
a backup program such as Dantz Retrospect to be recognized and put to use.
There is however a tape mounting software, which lets you handle the tape
(almost) the same way as a disk drive  Go to: www.optimatech.com, they offer
a trial version, fully functional up to a certain limit of GBs.
