I have heard rumors that the Sun scsi disks are compatible with mac
machines.  This starts an interesting line of thought for me.  Are the
scsi *tape cartridge* drives for Sun compatible with macs?  Perhaps with
some arcane init?  As we have a lot of Suns and macs here, it would go
a long way in finding an inexpensive solution to mac-backup.  It would
be esp. nice to be able to use something like diskfit with the sun
cartridges.  Anyone out there doing this?
