As far as I know, Conner DAT drives are Archive (Archive was bought out by Conner which in turn was assimilated by Seagate). What brand appears on the drive is largely a matter of when it was manufactured, marketing, etc. I don't care much for Conner either but are you implying that DAT's made since the Conner branding are deficient? ====================================== When philosophy conflicts with reality, choose reality.
