Any help > would be greatly appreciated. Im using a DEC DLT tape with OnLine 5. The version I have holds 10GB native, 20GB compressed on a cart. It is *much* faster than any DAT tape ive come across, and there is now a 20/40GB version, as well as stackers. These drives are now built by Quantum, DEC and others sell them. DEC has versions that are specifically supported on the HP boxes, there are other folks selling the Quantum versions.
