Does anyone of you net.people know where I can get software support
(device driver and whatever needed) for Exabyte 8mm video tape system?
The tape recorder has a SCSI-interface and we can connect it to a
9000/840 or a 9000/370. If you have any experience of this kind of a
backup system, I would be more than interested to hear of it.

HP has a DAT tape recorder with a SCSI-interface but can I use it in
any other system (as we may want to do) than in a HP? Any experience
of this one?

As I understand the situation, the 8mm tape system is more widely used
and a de facto standard in tape systems, right? Any opinions pro or
cons of these two (DAT or 8mm video) systems?
