- Please pardon my incredulity at your statement, for I've used an EXB-8200 per:
-
- HP-UX <==> Amiga
-
- Sun <==> Amiga
-
- with BTNtape.
-
- What version of AmigaOS, BTNtape, {scsi, harddisk, etc.}.device, etc are
- you using?
-
- I've had no problems between the Amiga and a Sun with any of QIC-24, QIC-150,
- Exabyte EXB-8200 and Archive DAT (4mm) tapes using tar on both the AMiga and
- the Sun; tar tapes are the ONLY method of file exchange I have between these
- systems since my Amigas don't have Ethernet cards.
