Message-ID: Date: 22 Feb 90 13:40:21 GMT Sender: News@tut.fi Distribution: comp Organization: Tampere University of Technology, Finland Lines: 18 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? -- Pertti Suomela Tampere University of Technology Control Engineering Laboratory ps@tut.fi PO Box 527, SF-33101 Tampere, Finland ps@fintut.bitnet Work: +358-31-162650, Fax: +358-31-162340
