How right you are about cost. I was looking at DLT drives and they are
more expensive then I had reckoned on.

What do you think of a HP SureStore DAT 40 (internal) drive. What SCSI
adapter did you use with your HP DAT drives? Finally what stress did you
have finding Linux drivers for HP DAT drives?
