I've got an 8200 rebadged as an external Maynard Maynstream
2200HS. I used to use it to backup my Amiga's but only one software
package would even deal with the drive. I've yet to find either a
Mac or PC backup program that liked the drive, but then again, most
recent packages don't support it at all. I bought it for like $30
6-7 years ago and it had a tape stuck in it. Maynard replaced it
under warranty and it's seen little use since then due to
compatibility problems.

The EXB8200 is a rather strange device. It needs
many quirks in the
SCSI driver to work. So it may be plain incompatible with the card. Or
the card wants a very special drive with a special firmware...
I've noticed this about the 8200. I've got a CMD card that talks to
EX8200s and so I tried it with two of the drives I have here.
