|All of the units you've listed are 'true' 4mm DAT units.  I'm no fan of 
|Exabytes, as they have a fascist repair policy and their spare parts are
|astronomically expensive 8(, so keep on ignoring them 8)

Just for comparison, I just had a WangDAT 3200 repaired
by the factor (now Tekmar) and they charged a flat fee
of $300.  I wonder how Sony and HP compare on repairs?
If they are  more reasonable I'd switch.
