This is another candidate for an FAQ posting; but can the internal 8mm tape
drive on a Risc-System 6000 read an Exabyte tape written from another
machine such as a Sun?  If so, what do I need to do to get it to work?  Or
do I have to buy a tape drive from Exabyte and try to attach it to our
POWERserver 530?  We are running AIX3.1 3003 by the way.  Thanks in advance.
