Just curious...anyone here had any experience with these? I probably shouldn't have, but I ended up buying one on ebay...then buying a Sony tape to go with it. Got the drive a few days ago, and the tape just came in the mail today...haven't had a chance to play with it to see if I can get it to work or not. Found several variants of the software online for it. The tape carrier lid seems to have taken a hit and is slightly dented and out of position...so hopefully it still works ok...also has a little crud in the battery compartment, but doesn't look too bad.
For those not familiar with it, this is a super-micro-cassette type unit that stores 1Gb of data on a tape that is literally the size of an SD card, just thicker. Pictures seriously do not do justice to how small this tape is...you have to see it in person to believe it. Sony apparently made the mechanism, which is used with "NT" tapes, which they also used on a mini digital recording device. Apparently like a microcassette recorder, just smaller and digital. I would try to buy one of those too, but they seem to be pretty pricey on ebay.
