ADIC DAT Autochanger 1200C-001 48GB SCSI Autoloader Tape Drive DDS
The ADIC DAT Autochanger 1200C-001 is a desktop-format SCSI tape autoloader designed for automated DAT/DDS backup without manual tape swapping. It combines a DAT tape drive with a robotic tape carousel mechanism, allowing a host system to sequence through multiple cartridges automatically — extending unattended backup capacity to 48GB native. The unit connects via SCSI and was designed to work with network servers and workstations requiring scheduled, high-capacity tape backup.

Applications
SCSI DAT autoloaders like the ADIC 1200C were a standard fixture in server rooms and small data centers during the 1990s and early 2000s, when DAT/DDS was the dominant tape backup format for Unix workstations, Windows NT/2000 servers, and NetWare environments. The autoloader mechanism allowed IT staff to back up significantly more data overnight than a single-drive unit permitted, making it popular for departmental file servers where weekly full backups exceeded a single tape's capacity. ADIC (Advanced Digital Information Corporation) was a leading producer of tape libraries and autoloaders during this era, and the 1200-series was among their desktop-class autoloader offerings. These units are now primarily of interest for legacy system support, spare-parts sourcing, or data recovery from archived DAT/DDS tapes.
This ADIC DAT Autochanger 1200C-001 is in good physical condition cosmetically — the beige enclosure is clean and intact with no cracks or major damage visible. However, due to its age it is being sold strictly as-is, with no guarantee of functionality. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility. The internal mechanism, tape carousel, and robotic picker are visually present and intact as seen in our photos. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
