Yes, there is an Exabyte Tape-drive available which connects to the HPIB-Bus
using a HP7974 or DAT-Tape emulation for 2,5 or 5 Gb Exabytes.
Please mail for further details.

>I think everyone should tell HP that they need support for Exabytes.

I think that this is not the point. What you (and everyone else out there..)
need is an __OPEN__, __WELL-DOCUMENTED__ and __SUPPORTED__ SCSI-Bus on the
HP-PA Machines !

Still waiting for SCSI....
