Sam,
I suspect the revenue discrepancy is a double count of DLT drive revenue and the DLT drives included in ATL libraries. Will listen to the call this morning but can't believe SDLT silence is good. We already knew it was extendable to future generations and expandable to backward read. Perhaps they have added a lower performance version as well.
They may be backing off on DLT 4000 since Benchmark apparantly shipped theirs early at a very low price point(see Overland press release).
DLT 8000 has been out a long time. Modest volomes and talk of OEM quals just now being completed may give Ebola's problem claims credence. QNTM now admits to early 8000 problems and the whole pictue doesn't really pass the smell test with me. -Z
