Unfortunately the EXB-8500 drive seems to have been

part of the TTi setup; it refuses to talk direct to the HBA and doesn't even

TTi intercept board. Either that or it's utterly, utterly broken.
Bingo on the firmware, I think. We had a miserable time with it--
long blocks being one of the biggest issues. TTi did notify us too
late (after we'd published our list) that they had updated firmware,
but we never did any further work with them after the initial go-
round.
You might want to find someone with an 8510 with a later firmware rev
and see if you can use that--or just try the generic Exabyte 8500
firmware and forget about TTi's little board.
