     My apologies, since I'm sure this has been asked before (many times?),
   however I'm a new subscriber.  Does anyone have a reliably working 8mm
   tape drive on the SCSI port of a DECSTATION-5000? If so, which manufacturer
   and how do you configure it into the system.
     The DS-5000 I'll be getting in the next few weeks will by our first UNIX
   system, so apologies for my ignorance in advance.

I think that due to the 4mm subsystem delays DEC actually sells and
8mm system right now.  I bought a Mountain Filesafe 2100D which has
been working well.  This is all ready for the DECstation and is pretty
much plug in and go, just need a few bizarre parameters when dumping.
