Yes.  Sequent offers a 2GB 8mm tape drive for the Symmetry line.

Contact you local Sequent Sales Executive for literature and
ordering information <this is a recording ;-)>.

You want to call 1 (800) 854-9969 (their hot line) and ask to speak to 
someone in the Custom Systems group. I have been using one of their 2GB
tape drives (actually manufactured by MEMOTECH plus a customized set of 
e-proms) since 09/89/90 already and not a single problem. Occasionally I
find problems with the cartridges but that can be solved by buying good
quality cartridges. Also, it is advisable to get the fry solution type
of head cleaners and doit every two weeks or so. I do it every two weeks 
since my daily dumps (which are really full system dumps) take almost 2GB.

The dry solution can be obtained from EXABYTE.


Good luck!!
