I checked out eBay and there is no end to the Exabyte drives available there.


I'm in Maryland and the first big Hamfest (Amateur Radio flea market) of the season is less than two weeks away. I always see Exabyte drives there, often by the boxful :) If the needed drive can be identified, I'd be glad to try and find one, test it if successful, and donate it to the cause. Maybe AdPro can get an update before the next 17 years!

I have purchased an Exabyte drive a bit more modern than the tapes hoping it will be backwards compatible.

I could still use some experts to help me make sure I read the tape in one try.


What is printed on the tape cartridges?
Not an expert, but I have used (and still have to use) quite a few different Exabyte drives over the years.
