Hi audio DAT users,

today I compiled the DATgoodies, version 1.5 from the
SGI homepage with gcc3.3 for IRIX6.5.22f and later. Please
feel free to download the swpkg'ed files at

http://www.baigar.de/irix/DATgoodies-1.5.tardist.

This file installs the executables verifydat, dodat and
cdtodat in /usr/local/bin/ and the readme files and
example script files in /usr/local/doc/dat/. Please be
aware, that the binaries are ug+s and thus any user has
root access to DAT and CDROM via these tools. If you
do not like this, please issue

chmod a-s /usr/local/bin/cdtodat /usr/local/bin/verifydat
/usr/local/bin/dodat

as root after installation completed. I tested the utility
using a SONY SDT-9000 on Indigo2, R10k, MXI. It was easy to
transfer a cd to DAT via cdtodat and quality was excellent.
This should work with all audio compatible DAT drives which
where sold together with SGI boxes...

Best regards,

Erik.
