I don't know DLT, but many people I know and myself have experiences with DAT. The tapes are equal to DDS. The problem here aren't the tapes, but the drives. I never heard of a DAT drive that lived very long, neither consumer, nor professional studio DATs. The mechanic is comparable with VHS video recorders, but they are that small, that the size of a drive sometimes is as small as a Walkman. Spaghettied tapes are a common issue for DAT, since DDS is the same I won't trust it and I suspect DLT doesn't differ much. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
