        sorry about the slow reply. it's been very busy around here for the

        the drives are actually made by Sony. you might try their website.
        check the usual places you buy your hardware from; they should be
able to give you the info.

        AIT-1 is a 25/50GB drive; I think AIT-2 is coming out now/soon,
which is 35/70GB (or maybe it's 50/100GB). 

from everything I've heard, they beat the crap out of DLT. (at the same cost).
