hey,

	I have a question:

Is it possible to modify, or sufficiently hack a DAT player (designed for 
playing music) so that it can be used as a bakup medium??

What is the difference between the DAT's dasigned for DATA and those designed 
for music, I mean in the recorder/player since the tapes are nearly identical.

Specifically, would it be possible to modify Sony's new DAT walkman for use
in backups...?
