Yes.  For those interested, the "Juke Box Library" (JBL) is an autoloading
8mm 125-Gigabyte Storage System.  Or put another way, a carousel system
which can hold 54 cartridges (at 2.3 Gigabytes each) and two Gigatape 8mm
drives.

The system is available on a wide variety of platforms, including DEC
(Ultrix and VMS), Sun, Apple Macintosh, Compaq & IBM PC/AT compatibles,
and some UNIX based systems which have either a SCSI-bus or a
VME-backplane.

The units shipped so far have been primarily Sun units.
