[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1012625, member: 325666"] 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 rgds VS [/QUOTE]
