***Looks to be sold****
This is a SGI labeled DDS2 4/8gb Tape Drive. Pretty standard stuff. Works with anything a standard non-SGI version would. The SGI rom lets you record and play back AudioDAT tapes which nobody probably uses anymore. 99% of DAT drives didn't for copyright reasons. I've used this on a PC with a SCSI card to extract old music recordings off AudioDAT without problems. I have extracted the one Audio DAT I had so, it needs a new home.
The drive is in great shape but, the front door flap is missing or was never there. I got it without it. Not sure SGI had flaps or not. I ran a cleaning tape through it and did a 2gb dump and restore to test it. No issues at all.
$20 including shipping in the US. I'll ship it outside the US but, you get to pay the shipping. I am sure it will be more than I am asking for the drive.
