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,

Allegedly, the following programs can be used to talk to an Exabyte tape from a SCSI card (such as the IN-2000) under DOS: Backit fro Gazelle Systos + Novaback from Novastor (or vice versa) I have'nt tried any of these, but am about to take the plunge myself and would also be interested in additional information. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ inet: ben@yenta.alb.nm.us | My opinions are my own.
