    are there any alternatives to Quatrus 4000/8000 DLT systems? my old system is about to die and all i have are laptops as an alternative.
    the DLT’s are all SCSI so is there any way to hook them up to a laptop?

    all i have is Sata, USB and firewire inputs

    Maybe a SCSI <-> USB converter can help you?

    No reason to delivery on DLT. I haven’t done this in 3 years. Just delivery on pen drive or DVDr

    “No reason to delivery on DLT.”

    Absolutely correct. Seriously…if your replicator requires tape, find another. They’re way behind the times.

    Yeah…..all the replicators I know have thrown the DLTs in the trash. 🙂

    Ah, I see…The only safe option would be use an older Mac. Ive never had luck with those converters
