by I have a few of these Exabyte model 8500c tape drives that will not work under
Solaris 2.3 (and, I have heard, fail also with 4.1.3). The problems remind
me of a thread that I quickly dismissed awhile back on this same problem with
the tape drive (or was it an 8505) when I didn't own one... At any rate, I
do recall that there was no official Sun patch to work this drive, and have
confirmed this with the SunSolve resources. BUT there was a user work-around
that I remember someone came up with.
Could anyone point me in the direction of the elusive fount of knowledge
which knows how to use this tape drive with Solaris 2.3?
