I have 35 brand new sealed and boxed HP branded DDS DAT tapes 60 metres in length. They record for an hour, I think, possibly2 hours.

If anyone would like these for free and are willing to collect from me in Seaford or are willing to pay the postage, they are yours.

I also have maybe 100 opened boxes of DAT tapes with some recordings, these are also available for nowt.

I worked at HP back in the early 1990s and we used these DAT tapes to carry out backups and from memory we moved from DDS1 to DDS3 (thinner tapes that allowed more backup data to be stored) these tapes were redundant.

Hi There, the house is being rewired and everything is a mess.....could you 2 guys email me your addresses and I will send the tapes to you probably next Wed or Thursday - we have to finish off. I have found some more DAT tapes and you guys can have those as well.....it's very busy, and dusty here. A bonus was discovering we have parquet flooring throughout the house.
