I've added a scsi tape drive to my collection. I
hope to use
it with my Sparcbook. It is a Sun box with a sticker on it saying
that it is a EXB-8500C drive. Do I need special 8mm tapes
with it? How do I know what tapes will work with it?
I've never dealt with these drives before.
The 8200 (2.3GB) could use standard video tapes, but the 8500 (5GB)
requires data tapes. I tried video tapes in the 8500 when it came out,
but the error rates were horrendous.
