Has any one out there got an Exabyte tape system connected to
HP series 300 workstations? - we have 318/319s with HPIB.
If so, how does it perform ?
do you need additional hardware/software ie SCSI ?
Thanks in advance
Kenny C.

re: "Has any one out there got an Exabyte tape system connected to

There are at least two re-sellers offering SCSI Exabytes for the 300.
I.E.M. in Fort Collins, another independent hardware vendor, has just
announced an HP-IB 8mm drive, and it appears to be a repackaged Exabyte
(with what must be an extensively new controller/adaptor for HP-IB). I have
seen no independent reports on it.
