Unidad de cinta digital..., pero DAT?
Gabriela Lozano
Local time: 00:03
sí, DAT
Explanation:
DAT = Digital Audio Tape
Al igual que por ejemplo, RAM (Random Aleatory Memory), no se traduce, se deja tal cual.

Puedes escribir, por ejemplo,

"...una unidad de CD-ROM, y unidad de cinta digital (DAT), "

¿Ves? Tampoco traducirías CD-ROM!
