At a recent SURF meeting in Newport Beach, I asked a Sequent Tech Support
guy about the Exabyte.  He said that Sequent's SCSI was so finely tuned
that he guaranteed the Exabyte wouldn't work.  I'd be happy to hear that
Sequent had solved that problem and could connect an Exabyte (or any
similar drive) to the SCSI.
