There are rumors that DEC's TLZ04 (4mm) is actually going to be available in
November (they had been saying maybe January).  It sure is ok for 4.0; my guess
is there shouldn't be probs. with the DS2100, but not having access to one, you
would be wise to check with someone not holding a hat over his face.

DEC has been shipping Mountain 8mm units to the more voluble of their angry
customers (those who expected their 4mm units from DEC last June), so DEC
better support the Mountain 8mm unit.  From what I gather, there are quite a
few 8mm units that Field Service may support -- not sure about classification
(ie, class A, B, or C).

Hope this helps,
