Does anyone have much experience with the new 4mm DAT tape drives?  There
are about 4 available that I know of:

	1)  Hewlett-Packard	2)  WangDAT
	3)  Mountain		4)  Archive

We did have a WangDAT tooked up to a propietiary IBC 486 XLB, but we suspect
that their driver is flacky.  Which of these manufacturers delivers a ROCK
solid device driver for a standard Intel-box.  Even if you are running on a
non-Intel box I would be interested in hearing from you.

Thanks in advance,
