I can't vouch for their software either.  I've been having problems with
their DOS and Windows 95 products.  I have an Exabyte 8500 which performs
just fine (Did about 1.3G in an hour) but when I tried to append another
volume, it couldn't find the end of the first volume.  Anyone else with
an Exabyte 8500 have this problem?  I have a friend with the same tape
backup and he's had the same problem with their DOS product.  He hasn't
tried their Windows 95 version yet.  Seems rather strange that it has
limited capabilities.  I've had no problems using backup software on any
other SCSI tape software.
