There are a number of companies packaging a drive made by Sony, which
is capable of storing 2.3 gigabyte on a single 8mm video tape.  The
device connects to computer systems via a SCSI interface.

I would like to know if there are any Masscomp installations out there
with one of these devices in use.  Maybe there is a company doing a lot
of third party support for Masscomp that might have a product like this
in the works.

I thank you in advance for any leads you give me.
