Hello

I would like to use the Exabyte jukebox with random access on
Vaxstation 4000 using VMS and Decstation 5000/200 using Ultrix.
In the future I'll use Alpha workstations.

I would like to know if anybody is using this device and to know 
how it works.

I understodd that there is a device called Exb10 that cost
about 6000$ for sequential access to which you can add
an exabyte 8200 or 8500  drive.

If you want random access you spend other 1000$ to get an Exb10i

But then you must pay 3000$ for another board for Ultrix or
6000$ for a software on VMS to use it. How can it be?

I'm mainly interested in a solution for VMS, but may be I'll forced to
use a U**x workstation to do the job.
						Ciao, Michele
