TTi finally went belly-up?

doesn't hint one way or the other. A poke around a few reseller sites
seems to hint that it's a SE drive, but it would be nice to confirm
that with someone who has one before I plug it into a machine and
toast the SCSI bus :-)
If it's like the 8510 that I had, it's SE--note that it's not auto-
terminate (you'll need a SCSI terminator). In my eperience, the
drive was buggy and TTi itself is defunct. You may have better luck
with a genuine Exabyte 8500.
The TTi unit isn't quite old enough to suffer from roller goo yet, so
it's hard to say if it will eventually. Tell ya what, stick it in a
room with one of those electronic air ionizers and get back to us in
6 months.. :)
