I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't have access currently to netnews. Please email responses directly, and if there's interest, he can summarize the responses and I'll post it for him. Thanks for the help. ------ Posting follows ------------------------------------- Apollo sys admins, We need some recommendations about a particular 8mm tape drive for our Apollo DN3500's. If you have any experience with Cybernetics and their 8mm tape drives, please let us know how the machine and service has worked for you. Is the data-compression option worth buying? Can you really get 10 Gb per 8mm tape? What`s the read/write response time like? My apologies if this has been discussed before. We are not receiving news feeds just yet. Please reply directly to runyan@c4west.eds.com . thanks David Runyan EDS, C4 Technology West (206) 562-4560 runyan@c4west.eds.com --
