	You'll find the Tahiti E/O listed in the TRI/ADD Shippable Products

	We had the Tahiti drives running under Ultrix v4.2 and I believe
	that the removable disk commands worked (basically, if I remember
	correctly, a mount command locks the door and unmount unlocks the
	door).

	I believe that the CAM implementation is cleaner still, but you'd
	have to ask MaxOptics about their drivers.

	The DEC SCSI implementations, to date, are single-ended SCSI-2
	on all of the DECstations/DECsystems and the VAXstations/VAXsystems.

	You're quite welcome. I hope that this helps.
