[comp.periphs] Fwd: 8mm tape drive experience?

ckk+@andrew.cmu.edu (Chris Koenigsberg) (09/21/89)

(already posted to comp.unix.wizards but I just figured out that
comp.periph might be a better place for this, sorry....and my thanks to
the people who have already responded)

The CMU Psychology Department is considering whether we should purchase
an 8mm tape drive to be attached via SCSI interface to a Sun3/160 which
is an AFS fileserver (Andrew Filesystem), mainly for doing backups.

We wonder if anyone else has any comments about using an 8mm drive on a
Sun3 Unix machine.

Please reply via mail to ckk+@andrew.cmu.edu or gripe@psy.cmu.edu. (I
will summarize for the net) Thank you.
