[comp.sys.sequent] Info on Exabyte 8mm wanted.

acs11059@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (07/13/90)

This is being posted for a friend.

We have a Sequent Symetry 27 and would like to purchase an 8mm drive.
I believe that Sequent supports Exabyte drives, but I would like
to know anything about model numbers, suppliers, and drive performance.

I assume  that the model(s) supported are pertec compatible and use
the standard device drivers.  Do they perform well with a Symetry 27
(Transfer rate, reliability)?

I don't have news access so please respond by email
