Subject: SGI Audio Capable DAT Drives.....LOCATED!

FYI, I have located a gentleman who has a number of SGI audio capable dat 
drives at a VERY low price.  I paid roughly about $200.  Not only do these 
drives do audio, they are also DDS-2.  I have not verified DDS-2 operation, 
yet.  I've just been playing with audio.

My drive identifies itself as ARCHIVE Python 01931-XXX, Firmware revision: 
5.63

I have used this drive to extract 44.1Khz audio samples from a tape 
recorded by my Sony PCM-M1 dat recorder.  I used the demo version of the 
dat2wav program to which seems to correctly identify separate audio 
programs and put them into individually numbered WAV files.

The gentleman who has the SGI drives is Doug Mashek, at
