Is there a DAT 80/160 Its a news to me.

I think forward compatibility will not be there

[MWills]

is there any chance you can get the part or product number of your drive?

[Lewis Finch]

the answer is no

[klnyc]

Its a HP DLT VS 40/80.

Okay, thank you, so if wont work on bigger DAT tape then?

[Lewis Finch]

A VS80 is a DLT drive not a DAT and no. larger tapes will not work.

[klnyc]

Oh snap, sorry folks. It a DLT, not DAT....OMG!!!! I cant believe I didnt even proof read.

Once again again, sorry abou the mis info.

We can't use HP80/160 DAT cartridge in HP40/80 drive.

But we can read the HP40/80 cartridge in HP 80/160 drive.
