I have been using Paralan devices for over a year now.  They cost about $300
and transform SE to Diff or reverse.  They work well.

Kind regards,

Now this is exactly the answer that I didn't want to hear :)

At the risk of being accused of flogging a dead horse, may I ask if there is
any way at all to connect an HP DDS-4 drive to an HP3000 9x9 now, and, if
not, are there plans to allow this to happen?

I ask this because several clients are under pressure to improve backup
times, and DLT is such an expensive option (especially here in South
Africa).

TIA

Regards

Neil
