I have a friend in the sound engineer business, who warns to stay away from Sony DAT equipment at all costs. Apparently, they use a propietary head angle setting which allows you to record on their stuff, but you can't playback on any other brand DAT player -- other companies using an industry standard head setting. Anyone who is in the biz directly, on this list, who would care to comment further?
