[Bob Zelin] "How many people on this forum have tried to recover Quantum DLT from AVID media on a SCSI interface recently. That was less than 10 years ago. GOOD LUCK retriving this kind of media. You will have better luck with a 1" videotape. "
Comparing the setup of a Cache-A unit to a Quantum DLT with SCSI is an extreme. Cache-A connects over ethernet using AFP, SMB, or FTP. No drivers or anything.
[Bob Zelin] "LTO4A is a fantasy, for those people that have lots of time on their hands, and not much media to backup. "
??? I'm really not sure where you're coming from on this one. I know some very large organizations that have monster LTO archiving setups in multiple locations.
