The CMU Psychology Department is considering whether we should purchase
an 8mm tape drive to be attached via SCSI interface to a Sun3/160 which
is an AFS fileserver (Andrew Filesystem), mainly for doing backups.

We wonder if anyone else has any comments about using an 8mm drive on a
Sun3 Unix machine.

Please reply via mail to ckk+@andrew.cmu.edu or gripe@psy.cmu.edu. (I
will summarize for the net) Thank you.
