We have a CDC 4680 (aka a MIPS 6280) with a 2.3 gig Exabyte tape drive installed. We have to increas our backup capacity and one of the options we're looking at is upgrading our 2.3 Exabyte with the newer 5 gig model (the 8500). We have found a company who will take the 2.3 gig drives on trade-in for the 5 gig drives for about $2500. That's a very attractive price for us, but we want to know will the upgraded drive work in the 4680? We're running EP/IX 1.2.3, although we have 1.3.1 on order. Has anyone tried something like this on a MIPS box or anything else for that matter? -- Peter Steele Postmaster peter.steele@acadiau.ca Tel: 902-542-2201 Software Analyst, Acadia University, Wolfville, NS Fax: 902-542-7224
