As I said earlier, setting the DAT to Async seems to alleviate most, if
not all, of the timeout problems with our P2B-DS based systems.

It does also seem to depend on the exact make and model of DAT - Running
them Sync; Sony SDT9000's fail most of the time whereas SDT-5000's
mostly work.

If it's any help, I do have a spare system that can be used for testing
if Doug tells me what he wants.
