Greetings!

We here at University of South Carolina have purchased an Exabyte
tape drive for doing network backups.  Unfortunately, we purchased
it for a workstation that we were *supposed* to get, but the Dean
has seen things differently.  We need desparately to verify the machine
works, but our only SCSI box with the correct type of port is one
of our Personal Irises.  We have the cable and the little darling
powers up correctly, but it doesn't seem to want to play with the
SGI.  We have been told that SGI has not "qualified" the Exabyte for the
Personal Iris.  Anybody know why?? Anybody from SGI wish to defend this
position??
