I been given an HP9000/800 to take care of with a tape drive that appears
to be a DAT drive, but I'm not sure. The label on the drive says "Digital
Data Storage". 

If is anyone is familiar with this drive, I would appreciate a confirmation
on my DAT speculation and any other information you can provide on:

  -- capacity
  -- tape size (useful in dump)
  -- best type of tapes to use (brand/length)
  -- any restrictions you know of using this as a standard mt device
