As long as we are discussing Exabytes... We have a peculiar bug in in which, whenever we do a restore from our Exabyte, our ALM-2 ports get trashed. What happens to them is when one types on them, nothing comes is echoed. When pressing the return key, what was typed is then echoed. Rebooting will fix this. I would like to be able to move my Exabyte from the 3/180 to our 3/60, partially to avoid this problem, but I do need a proper cable set and driver. It is not clear to me that this will work. I plan to go to 4.0.3 soon -- but I wanted to see what kind of excitement it would generate on the net! We have an exabyte on a Sun 3/180 running SunOS 4.0.1. We are using a Ciprico Rimfire SCSI controller.
