hi,

ive recently come by this ,i was gonna put it on ebay to see if its worth anything ,thing is though im not sure what it is ,i think its a tape or dat drive its definately not a floppy drive.

it has its own power supply and a fan.

theres no model number on it but it seems to be  made by TUV rheinland and the drive inside is made by hewlett packard and has the model number 35480-00100.

I'm told its an external SCSI dat drive that can be daisy chained. It was used in older RISC computers. It would have a capacity of about 2 GIG.

It is an external SCSI DDS1 DAT helical scan tape drive utilising 4mm 2/4Gb cartridges.

You can still buy the carts for about �3 from media suppliers but a quick check of eBay found a drive plus 15 carts starting at �14.99, no bids, on last day of 7 day listing. But you never know, yours may be just what someone is looking for!
