Yipes, looking over at my _Exabyte 8500_ it has a little black button has a green LED above an orange one directly to the
right of the button.
I'd guess the drive in question is a 8500, all the 8200's I've seen have
beige faceplates. This makes sense seeing as how the MVII in question
has
SCSI Hard Drives.
Both of my ExaByte 8200's have black faceplates. However, the LEDs are
side-by-side about 1.25" from the left side of the drive, and the button is
on the right.
When the drive is powered up, what do the LEDs do? If you press the
button, does the front open to allow you to insert a tape, like a miniature
VHS machine? Or does it just have an open slot to slide a cartridge into?
