I have an Encore Multimax here with a CDC tape drive that we've been
using to backup. I am trying to convert everything here to Exabyte backup.
Has anyone attached an Exabyte drive to a Multimax? What problems did you
have? What software did you need to find? Are there wierd cables needed?
I'll post a summary of my responses to the net if there's any interest.
Thanks, /Ted

Are there wierd cables needed? We went out and bought a standard Exabyte unit for our MM320 with the non-differential EMC. It worked just fine from the start. At least UMAX V (which is what we use here) includes drivers for ExaByte. Connecting an ExaByte to a differential EMCD wouldn't be any harder, since there are ExaByte units for differential SCSI available now. -- Robert Claeson E-mail: rclaeson@erbe.se ERBE DATA AB
