Re: [ARSCLIST] DAT transfer question

Hi Martin
You could look into this

http://pdicamillo.org/~peter/datxtract/

You need a Sony Data DAT recorder and the correct firmware(available if
you search for it)
This is a MAC program which I have used succesfully 
There are equivalent PC programs which I have not tried

Cheers

Subject: [ARSCLIST] DAT transfer question

Ya'll "fergive" me if this is a completely idiotic question.

Is there any way to transfer audio DAT tapes directly onto a hard drive
without going through the process of playing and recording in real time?

I'm thinking of the data backup and storage drives here which might use
stationary heads.  Hey!....Never hurts to ask.
