Want 8mm tape drive experience

[Russell J Fulton;ccc032u]

We have two exabyte drives on our SGI 4D/240s and are very happy with them.
We use them for all our backup (~5GB of disk). There was a bug in the drivers
under a previous release of Irix (3.2) which caused the drives to rewind when
some IOCTLs were issued. The impact of this was that you could not put more
that one file onto a tape with bru or tar. The bug is now fixed.
