Hi Currently we have an 8mm Exebyte drive connected to a Sparcstation. We need to connect this 8mm drive to a 386 for a summer field project. Specifically, does anyone have any experience/information on the following: 1) SCSI card for the AT bus that will work with the Exebyte drive. 2) Device driver (and/or library) for the Exebyte drive allowing access via C (or possibly FORTRAN) programs in a DOS environment.. Thanks in advance for any information. Jack

They have a set of C language routines for the Exabyte 8mm tape unit called C Programmer's Interface. It supports Adaptec and Always SCSI interface boards. List price is $295 (20% Edu discount). I can't vouch for the software since we haven't purchased it yet. (We probably will order it soon though). -- Robert Mutel Dept of Physics and Astronomy University of Iowa rlm@sunlight.physics.uiowa.edu 319-335-1950
