Sorry to be such a bonehead, but I didn't pay much attention to people
when they talked about working an Exabyte drive off an SR10.2 DN4500

Has anyone gotten one to work without picking up proprietary garbage?

I'd like to be able to just do cpio/tar functions and direct output to
a raw SCSI tape device file, the way most systems handle it. I know, it's
very different on Apollos, but this type of raw device support really
works on other systems, I'd make it a priority if I were directing things...

Thanks.
Scott
