- Hmmmm I've had nothing but good fortune with my two APS DAT drives. The
- external unit is the Compression drive, the internal unit (for Q950) is
- the non-compression one.
-
- Stuff written on the non-C one can be read from the C drive (Ack! Sounds
- like DOS :) with no problem. Of course, the reverse is _not_ possible.
