Hi Chuck
That would be great. Would it still work OK as the spec says
112m? I can buy three 160 EXABYTE labled tapes
on ebay for not a hole lot as well. I own you a disk
from the Canon Cat so you can look at it as well.
I tend to get side tracked.
So, what all seem to be saying is that there is no
special length requirement. I don't have to get exactly
112m tapes?

Hi
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. Dwight
Hi Dwight,
I have a bunch of new unused 90m Maxell 8mm tapes. If you'd like, I
can send you a few. Heaven knows, they're not going to get used
here.
