Gus, Great info on tape drives which raise two further questions. HDTV recorders to hit any mass market would have to be reasonably priced. If a reasonably priced drive is capable of anywhere near 150 MB/sec, this would seem to be the future for mid range and high end back-up. Is the outcome really this obvious and would you assume that the IBM/SEG/HP products will be based on these HDTV VCR decks? Based on my limited understanding, Near Field Recording would seem incompatible with helical scan but might well be feasible with linear tape. Is this a reasonable assumption and is there any indication that a future DLT product might include NFR? Last, any idea what is meant by non-tracking vs. tracking with respect to tape. Thank, -Z
