The literature I received from my salesman says both the 8mm drive
and OmniBack are available 74 days ARO for 3500/3550/4500, and August 
1 for 10000. The 8mm tape drive can be ordered without OmniBack. This
cuts off about $ 2000 from the list price. I was told by an Apollo 
technical representative with the local sales office that rwmt/wbak/rbak
are supported. The literature does say SR10.1 is required. We are planning
to order the tape drive without OmniBack, since we will only be backing 
up one ring net. The list price for the drive and expansion box (required)
is $ 7500.
