- Is it possible to use a tape drive to store continuous data at high
- rates (128KB/s)? I was thinking of purchasing a high capacity DAT tape
- drive (>1G) and using it to archive data over a SCSI-2 bus. Is this
- feasible? How fast can data be transferred over the ISA or EISA bus?
- Does anyone know if data is transferred by bytes, words, or long words?

- Thanks,
