We went out and bought a standard Exabyte unit for our MM320 with the
non-differential EMC. It worked just fine from the start. At least UMAX V
(which is what we use here) includes drivers for ExaByte. Connecting an
ExaByte to a differential EMCD wouldn't be any harder, since there
are ExaByte units for differential SCSI available now.
