We're currently looking for fast backup/archiving media to connect
to our HP9000/370 running HP-UX 6.5. We came up with two alternatives:

	1) Rewritable optical disk (random access, expensive)
	2) Exabyte video tape (rather cheap, no random access)

Our server has a HP98265A SCSI interface, as well as a high-speed
HP-IB interface. I've read about the HP6300 model 650A rewritable
optical disk and I assume I can hookup that one without much trouble
(it's HP supported, right ?!?), but how about the Exabyte ????

Anybody out there having any experience with this animal ???
