Original-posting-by: curt@ecn.purdue.edu (Curt Freeland) Original-subject: Exabyte (8mm) on DN3500 Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) We have been running Exabyte tape drives on our SUN systems here for some time now. Now we would like to start using them on our Apollo systems (DN3500). We have the drive connected to the SCSI port on the WD disk controller. This is as far as we got. We do not know what driver software is required, how to order it, how to configure it, ... HP/Apollo has not been much help. We have been calling them for 2 months, and still have no answer. Whatever driver is loaded does not "see" the drive that is out there. It does find our cartrige tape drive when we connect it to the system, and disconnect the Exabyte. If you are running an Exabyte on your Apollo DN3500, I would be interested in hearing from you.
