I have a setup that does just that. It's installed into a legacy PC that runs Win. 2K Pro. I used it to transfer a SFX library (about 200 DAT's) for a client. It took some fiddling and has a learning curve (I had to use some Command Line statements for Win 2K) but, in the end, it worked quite well. It may be easier to install and run on a later Windoze OS. I'm unsure whether or not it will work with 32 Bit Files, it would depend on the transport, I think. The tapes I transferred were 16 Bit, 48k. I wouldn't mess with this system unless you have a considerable amount of DAT's to transfer. There is a Yahoo group that is at the forefront of this. You will probably need a Yahoo account but you can find out more at: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/datheads2wav/info Cheers!

I think most of these had SCSI-2 interfaces. They are almost certainly heavier-duty than an audio DAT tape drive. I've seen people cram tapes into them like they were trying to punch their hand through a sheetrock wall, and the drives always took a beating without complaint. > > -- > David Breneman > [log in to unmask] >
