I am the peripherals developer at Encore and I have done some work
with the Exabyte in the Lab here.  It will not run on the Multimax
with our current software.  Tape drives on SCSI support are quite
varried in their use of SCSI and overall handling and this drive is no
exception.  New firmware will be required for the EMC (Multimax SCSI
bus controller card) in order to use the Exabyte.  We will be sending
this code to a limited number of customers for Beta test in a few
weeks. After the Beta test, we will decide whether or not to generally
distribute the support.
