DAT Drives for Audio Extraction and Backups

We have several options for extracting audio from Digital Audio Tape drives. These are the much heralded audio capable DAT drive that audiophiles love! You can use these to dump the data from your Sony DATman(and others) recordings faster than real-time(2x on DDS2 and DDS3 drives). This drive will work on a PC(using DAT2WAV, VDAT, DODAT, and others others), on an SGI(using bundled multimedia software). These drives make the Digital Audio Extraction process MUCH simpler.
