We have just installed an Exabyte on our Sun 3/160 run OS 4.0.3.  To get
it working we upgraded our sun scsi-2 board to a scsi-3 board and then
plugged the drive in.  We were warned that the Exabyte had to be the first
device in the SCSI chain so that's where we put it.  So far (~three weeks)
everything has worked well.  We do backups in record time overnight on our
120MP vidio tapes (Sony being the preferred brand (we tried TDK but had
about a 50% failure rate)).
