I have an Exabyte EXB-8505XL connected to a 3100 running Ultrix 4.4.  Ultrix
doesn't recognise the drive ident string and so just treats it as a generic
SCSI tape drive.

How do I teach Ultrix all about an Exabyte EXB-8505XL?

I assume that I have to edit /sys/data/cam_data.c.  Do I just duplicate the
entry for an EXB-8500 or are the drives too different?

Naturally, I'll summarise any useful information.

George.
