[tor.general] Exabyte purchase

Hello again,

    We're buying an Exabyte 8MM backup system + SCSI controller for
our Sun 4/280. The third party vendor is DILOG and they are selling
us a Ciprico 3513 controller.

    I was reading in the Sun Observer that they tested an Exabyte unit
with the Ciprico 3510 controller. What is the difference between a 3513
and a 3510? The salesman at DILOG thought the Exabyte wouldn't need any
special software (ie, device drivers). Is this true?

    I'd like to hear your experiences with Exabytes if you have time.

Thanks
