[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 1012658, member: 319227"] What you have is a DDS drive - almost certainly a DDS1 which stored up to 1.3 GB (2.6 GB compressed) on the 60M(etre) tape. I used one of these some 15 or more years ago for back-up - so that would have been under Win98 or ME. Mine was an HP and I can't be sure now but believe I got HP software with it. AFAIK the original drives were all SCSI and only went to USB much later (15 to 20 years) and higher capacities (up to 320 GB ). I still have it in a very old server along with a magneto optical disc dive somewhere in the attic but haven't used it for many years.
