From the 386/ix V2.2 Release Notes:

"Support for Adaptec SCSI host adapters now allows Exabyte EXB-8200
DAT (2.3 gigabyte) tape drives to be used with the 386/ix system."

We are also currently testing Wangtek DATs, which appear to
be fully functional.

This release is now scheduled to ship in early April, 1990.
