I'm sure you can find them but many are past their useful life. One of my
all-time favorite DDS drives was manufactured by IEM, but I don't remember
the model number. It had an HPIB interface, could handle data compression
which could be enabled or disabled through a front panel LCD, and best of
all could emulate an HP7980 tape allowing it to work on classic systems
without the HIOTAPE4 driver. I would look for one of these instead.
