I recently got a used Exabyte EXB-8200 with only 3 pages of
documentation.  Fortunately, I was able to get the drive up
and running.  However, I would like to have more documentation
on this beast.  I logged into their BBS a few times, but the
line noise was so bad that I was unable to successfully
download any files.  Does anyone know of an FTP site where
Exabyte documentation may be found?  Or does anyone have an
electronic (or paper) copy of the EXB-8200 manual that could
be [e-] mailed to me.  If need be, I would be willing to buy
a copy of this manual from a willing seller.  Can anyone
out there in SCSI-Land help me out?

By the way, I understand that Exabyte sells MXProm upgrades
for $125.00, but provides CFT (Certified Field Tested) code
on their BBS for anyone wishing to burn their own.  Fortunately,
my MXProm version is 2600 (2618 is their latest Production
version).  I believe that anyone with an MXProm version earlier
than 251x needs an upgrade to use Sytos Plus.

Thanks and have a Happy New Year.

- Craig
