I've been told there are industrial DAT recorder/players that you
can purchase that operate at 44.1 Khz.  This makes perfect sense giving
that a studio would want to master directly to DAT tape at the correct
rate for later mastering to CD.  The main problem with industrial units
is the cost.  The second problem with industrial units is that the tapes
you make in your industrial unit won't play too well in your 48 Khz
car DAT player.
