[comp.sys.sun] Which brand of Exabyte?

I purchased two EXB-8200 units from a company called Perfect Byte and have
been very pleased with the units and the support received.  The drivers
for backing up data are the standard dump, tar, cpio & dd that you all
know & love but the nice feature was the install script that came with the
unit.  It did the whole installation automatically & successfully. 

I've also heard good things about the Delta Microsystems version of the
Exabyte unit, though I have no first hand knowledge about it.  The good
points are their software interfaces to manage the tape drive.  They do
run under Sunview and can give you status information about the tape and
other nice features.
