Either 1.3 or 2gig models are fine, though I'd rather run a 2gig. Also, it seems that the DDS format is prevalent, but the DATA/DAT format sounds more like what what I need. What the scoop on these two different formats--which do you feel is better? Any info you can send me: manufacturer, model, phone number, prices, etc.. is appreciated. If you have *experience* with a DAT drive, I'd like to hear about it too. (The November '90 BYTE had an article & list of manufacturers of DAT drives, but I'd like to hear about one in action, especially on a 3b2/700 ;->) Thanks much, Eric -- "I'd rather be no one than someone with no one to love" | Eric Thompson --Stone Roses | et@ocf.berkeley.edu
