I don't know for sure that it works with an Exabyte 8200, but look for an

Also look for different versions of the onboard firmware. Exabytes are
quite picky and tempermental when they are hooked up to various host
controllers and their firmware is not the right rev. I used to run into
this a lot with these drives and the 8500 jukeboxes when it came to Legato
backup software on Netware and Solaris servers.
