Has anybody connected an Exabyte 8mm video backup system to a Multimax 310? What do I need in order to do it? I currently have an Exabyte that we use on a Sun-4/280 w/SCSI controller. I thought I could just plug it in to the Encore since it uses SCSI, but the connectors don't match:-) Is this just a matter of getting a conversion cable? The Sun uses some sort of 50 pin or so DB connector and the Multimax uses a telco-style 25-pair connector. So much for standards (like the CT-130 tapes:-).
