Got a curious project atm ..
Having recently aquired some old tech at a car boot sale ..
A DAT tape drive backup unit (external)
No Idea what make ..the logo looks like RU with the R reversed and joined to the U ..
The unit powers up ..and appears to work ..
..and came with a PCI scsi card which I have yet to try in ....well ...anything PC wise ..
No connecting lead ...but somewhere in my loft I do have a centronics 50 pin lead from an old printer ..
The same connector on both the scsi card ..and the DAT drive.
And ...bonus ..a box of used DAT DG-60M tapes ..
So ..curious as ever ...I wanna see it work..
lol
So before I attempt anything ..
Anyone familiar with this tech from yesteryear ?
Is the drive natively supported by any version of windoze ?...or will it require 3 party drivers and/or software ?
Any help and info would be appreciated ..as this is well out of my ball park.
lol
