No.

I have heard that Irix on SGI w/stations has a piece of software called
DATMAN or something like that. Apparently you can read audio off DAT but
I dunno about recording. 
As for PC forget it - Unless I'm wrong?????

IDM content: 
Are there any new releases from Sun Electric. I haven't heard of
anything from them this year.

Oh well, it certainly doesn't help being stuck in Nigeria. I plan to
deconstruct and remix some Fela Kuti trax if anyone is interested?
