by We've recently taken delivery of a 5G Exabyte tape, and I was hoping for
some battle stories from anyone else who had used them, particularly
with non-Exatapes.
We've been using the old 2.3G drives for some time, and have had no major
problems using the standard Sony 8mm tapes (which cost us in the region of
$12, compared to about $40 for an Exatape.) However with the 5G drives I
am somewhat wary of the Sony tapes. Has anyone got any opinions or had
any experience using non-Exatapes in the 5G drives?
Thanks. Email me, and I will post a summary to the net.
