Hello,

	I hope this is the right group to post in.

I have a customer that says he has a  Cray YMP that has an 8mm tape drive
(SCSI) on it. I have not heard of this before (SCSI drives on Cray machines)
I thought they required a Sun or VAX with SCSI drives as a front-end or
something.

	Anyhow could anyone tell me if this interface is Standard SCSI?
This person needs a tape capacity of >3GB for special files they are archiving
(Model files) and they 2.3GB Exabyte 8200 they have is too small and too slow.

	If the SCSI on the Cray is Standard we'll try to put a HP 8GB 4mm
DAT drive in place of the Exabyte.

	If anyone could lend insight to this matter I would appreciate it!
