>>>The PVR is not going to be released until June/July 1995, sounds like you let your PAR go a little to soon!!<<< Better now while the gettin's good. That is only 1-2 months off. >>Is it possible to hook a DAT directly to the PVR for backups? This may be quicker than going over the PCI bus, or am I wrong? Right now backups from the PAR -> DOS/DAT takes so long, I'm hoping the PVR is quicker.<< –If you will be using NT, the ExaByte drives are directly supported and I think that some of the popular 4mm DAT drives should be also. The report is that backups are very quick on NT. —– We do have a HP C1533a 4GB DAT hooked to aa Adaptec 2940 under NT at the moment. The DAT is quick under DOS/Windows (33MB/min) when doing a backup/restore from C: drive, but from the PAR HD to DAT it is slow. I hope it isn't that way under PVR and NT.
