R-DAT: speaking as a mostly contented professional user of R-DAT for
audio, I would say it is extreme unlikely that it will replace CD's.
It may penetrate more than it has, but with the ridiculous cost of
pre-recorded music (not *software* please) and the dubious life of the
ksets vs non-invasive optical reading ....

but when will the DAT backup SCSI drives become available ???
