What's New

30 Sep 2023
After all these years, I have a working SCSI audio DAT system again. If you need the audio extracted from some DAT tapes, contact me. Email address is at the bottom of the main DAT page.

I was informed about the new Yahoo! Group datheads2wav.

Minor editing of some text. Added a graphic for my email address.

Arzeno Fabrice emailed me a link to his page, which contains audio-capable firmware for the Sony SDT9000 drive. It seems that interest in audio-capable DAT drives is alive and well. Good find, Arzeno.

I stumbled across this Linux program.
Added a note about my source code. Thanks again, Marty.
It seems that DAT Studio is no longer available.

A new and improved version of my original program is available. Thanks, Marty.

17 Dec 2001
Added a little pizzaz to the old, boring web pages. Fixed a few broken links.

Minor update to the Links page. It's "Google Groups" now. "Deja.com" is long gone.

Some C++ source code was added to the Links page.

Added a local copy of the Adaptec ASPI SDK, since I can't find it on Adaptec's site any more.
Made minor editing changes to clarify some points.

More news from Max - In early 1997, Seagate sold the drive with audio firmware 5.63 (CTD8000-SSP or Con4326NP/A, Part-Number 710002-011) to everyone. You may find this information useful if you are trying to get support from Seagate for your audio-capable drive.
 
5 May 2000
Max from Germany tells me that in the past, he had bought a 4326 drive with non-audio firmware, sent it to Seagate (I presume in Germany) and they flashed it with audio firmware for him. He also tells me that Seagate has been known to send out audio firmware upgrades to customers with audio-capable drives. See more info from Max on the Background page.
