First thing, excuse my bad english.. Do you prefer well written french ;-)

Due to total incapacity of CBM France & CBM Switzerland to solve my problems,
I hope that somewhere in this world, a nice guy, will reply to my question.

DOES SOMEBODY TRY TO USE AN EXABYTE ON AN AMIGA SUCCESSFULLY ?

I tried Tabu (yes i removed terminators on the disk and put it at the end
of the chain).

I tried with the WB2.x BRU  but a tape: device is asked. (if just
a mountlist entry is the solution, let me know).

What happend: the Exabyte is recognized by hdtoolbox as unknow type
              if you try Tabu, the disk start, the tape start but
              nothig goes from disk to tape (and sometimes say rd errors or 
              wr errors or rewind errors. (Yes the exabyte is on a different
              scsi port).

Does somebody at CBM USA tried this nice device ?
Our a3000 is just beside a NEXT and a MAC. the two other machines uses the
exabyte fine but not the Amiga (as usual, everything goes wrong with the Amiga)
The best way? throw away the a3000 and use the other machines or find a
solution thru net ???
