	Charlie Mingo talked in his post about unusability of audio DATs for 
computer backup due to the lack of control.  But what about Sony's L-control(?)
, S-control(?) and Pioneer's control system. A lot of companies produce comp-
onents that had control interfaces intended for control by a reciever/pre-amp
.  Are those usable from a computer-control standpoint?

p.s. I believe the 10mg/tape capacity Charlie quoted is based on hardware
compression and not the "real" or "raw" storage capacity of DAT tapes.
