You found the right place; I'm suprised that you didn't figure it out.

Just duplicate the existing entry and modify the vendor/product string and
the comparison byte count, getting rid of the silly "8mm Helican Scan":

/* Exabyte 8mm 5GB cartridge */
{
        "Exabyte EXB-8500", 15, "EXABYTE EXB8500CMTBANXC0",
        ST_TYPE_EXB8500, 1024,
        (ST_VARIABLE | ST_BSF | ST_BSR | ST_LONG_ERASE),
        5000, 5000,
        { 0x14, 0x00, 0x8C, 0x8C },
        {  0, 0, 0, 0 }


The 15 is the number of chars in second string to compare to the concatenated
vendor and product strings that the device actually returns.
