Please make sure that the vendor you are buying the 8mm drive from is using
the MXPROM REV 252X and SERVOCODE CO21 (If you're buying from Mountain
Network Solutions this should be the case automatically). This should allow
the 8mm drive to respond as a TKZ08-AA and Ultrix should have no problem
with the drive (this should work for the Exabyte 8200 series drives).

I'm not ignoring John's request to mail him the replies, I just get enough
questions on 8mm that I thought this would help.

				Thanx,
