I'm wondering what experiences in general people have had with the CSC Archive DAT changer. For $349, it seem like a pretty good deal; I'm just wondering why they're dumping them at this price? Is it because of the new DDS3 drives just on the market, or is there some horrible reliability problem with the driver? I've currently got an old Archive Python DDS-1 drive (yup, no compression). Having just recovered from a busted disk, I'm wishing that I had taken the opportunity to do more frequent (unattended) dumps; hence the attraction of the autochanger. louie
