I was looking for a replacement 4mm DAT 4-Tape Magazine for a SUN Dat
drive. Sun does not sell this part anymore, though if you have the
system the DAT drive is connected to under warrenttee, they will
replace the part for you.
Instead I purchased the part from:
West Coast Computer Exchange
916-635-9340
www.wccx.com
for $100.00 which is high, but worth it to us.
Thanks go to:
Jesse Anderson (jesse@ecotarium.org)
Terry Haupt (terry.haupt@pncbank.com)
Peter Wargo (plw@ncgr.org)
Thomas Noel (tnoel@painless.org)
for their suggestions and pointers. Some other possibilities included
using the same part from a DEC/Compaq tape drive, which was also OEM'd
like SUN and seem to be compatible.
Thanks,
John

That cartridge is the same as the one from compaq... I broke one and
borrowed one of the NT cartridges and it worked.

They will replace them under contract. Otherwise, let me know - I may
have one around.
