http://www.neutronexpress.com/prod.cfm/36522/SONY/SDT-D7000/ME "Individual Tape Capacity (Compressed) : 8 GB" "Misc Features : Built-in Hardware Compression" http://www.neutronexpress.com/prod.cfm/85103/SONY/SDT-7000/BM "Individual Tape Capacity (Compressed) : 8 GB" Note that the ME variant has hardware compression but the BM variant does not. Either way, the native capacity is 4GB. So, maybe gzip is still your friend... -- +---------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | | "I have created a government of whirled peas..." | | Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 12-May-2002, | !
