Quantum DLT 2000XT Tape Drive
|
 |
|
|
Still performing its function in the real world, this was the first
DLT tape drive with unique, tape loadable firmware, allowing easy
updates to the drive's microcode, so that additional capabilities
could be added by merely changing software. The same technique also
permitted customization to the SCSI interface parameters. Also notable
was the 2000XT's use of advanced linear recording technology,
precision tape guiding system, and adaptive control mechanism, all
of which were retained in future generations of DLT tape drives. |
