[comp.sys.pyramid] High Density Tape Drives

ggg@nixdet.UUCP (Glenn G Graber) (09/28/89)

Does anyone have experience with a Cybernetics 8mm tape streamer
hung-off of a Pyramid 9810 (Targon 35) ?  I have read the news on
Megatapes (from Steve Pattinson - Aug 89 and Victoria Day - Jul 89).

From Cybernetics literature, it appears their EXB-8200 is a very good
solution.       

I am interested in it's true sustained transfer rate (they say it can
sustain 15 MB/min., but the Pyramid can only send at 13-14MB/min.).  
Also, can you daisy-chain it from either the default 1600 bpi Cipher 
tape drive, or the 6250 GCR tape drive ?


Thanks,
