I couldn't help but noticing that in scsi_data.c there is a "tz88" defined claiming to be an Exebyte EXB-8200. I plugged our EXB-8200 in and the system did, in fact, recognize it and claim it had an attached TZ88. When trying to use said, it complains: "drive selftest failed, code = 0x8". Sigh. The question then becomes is DEC assuming something about this Exebyte drive that I don't know. (Someday, kernel sources will arrive which will make this question much easier to answer...)
