We just got our Exabyte 8200 system, and I have a few quick questions:
1) We plan on hooking it up to a 3/60 running SunOS 4.0.3, and I
understand we should have no problems with the standard Sun kernal driver.
The 3/60's kernal has support for st0 and st1; it also has a Micropolis
1325 disk on sd0, and an HP 975 600MB drive on sd2. How do I know which
SCSI device# the tape drive is set to, or is this irrelevant with a tape
device? (There is no mention of the device number in the manufacturer's
manual, and the distributor provided no manual - that's what we get for
ordering a barebones $2700 tape drive :-)
2) Does the drive have a builtin SCSI terminator? Do I not have to worry
about this?
3) In short, can I just hook this thing up and try writing to st0 or st1?
(I've saved all the net messages about blocking factors & such for dump
and restore.)
Thanks for your help.
