SGI is one company that makes sure the DAT/DDS drives they sell do audio DAT
too... I know that you can read/write audio tapes on an SGI you get if you
buy the tape drive from them, and possibly using a drive from another
manufacturer too. I imagine they do this since their machines are often used
in high-end multimedia type things...sill, kind of a cool capability and all
:)
