I have an Encore Multimax here with a CDC tape drive that we've been
using to backup.  I am trying to convert everything here to Exabyte backup.
Has anyone attached an Exabyte drive to a Multimax?  What problems did you
have?  What software did you need to find?  Are there wierd cables needed?

I'll post a summary of my responses to the net if there's any interest.

Thanks, /Ted
