	What about the Exabyte drive - it is a SCSI device - is there
enough info to write a SCSI driver to use this drive directly on the 
3100 scsi bus? - Has anyone tried? We have been using this device on
uVaxen for a year and are delighted (2.4 Gigabytes at approx 90mins/gig
on a $9.00 tape) - restoring single files from a 1.4 gig dumptape takes
15 minutes, not 3 hours (tk50 time)

Just thought I'd ask...
