Infomaniacs,

	I am looking for detailed information about operating an
Exabyte 8500 8mm tape drive under DOS. Anyone ever done that?
What SCSI interface/SCSI chip was involved?
What data rate could you attain?
What driver did you use?
I need to reliably put away 350 kbytes a sec and still have a
little cpu left. Thankfully hopeful,
