Has anyone out there had any experience with
Micro Technology's 8mm tapedrives connected
via VAXBI on a VAX 6210.  They claim to be the largest
distributers of 8mm subsystems to the DEC market.

We are specifically looking at the 8500 (5GB) exabyte
drives, but I would welcome all comments about the
reliability of any MT manufactured subsystem.  I would
also appreciate all comments about MT's service after
the sale.

Thanks,
