This and later DLT tape drives had 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 DLT8000’s use of superior error detection and correction, extensive embedded diagnostic/self-test software, Dual-speed recording and fast access to data via tape mark directory.
All stock DLT drives have been fully refurbished by our factory trained engineers and have passed a series of manufacturer diagnostic tests designed to test the read write performance of the DLT drive.
This refurbished product comes complete with a full 6 month return to base warranty.
