DAT: Depends what capacity, we've got some ancient ones kicking around but 
not sure if they still work.

SCA: Easily. Got some spare Sun 280's and 220's kicking around, one's most 
likely to take them.

FP can store as TIFF, render as JPEG with an option to pick up the TIFF if 
you need it. I don't mind putting it in as a pro gallery which does this.

Anyway, the offer's there. Disk space isn't an issue - we got about 2TB 
spare on the system at the mo.
