- You found the right place; I'm suprised that you didn't figure it out.

- Just duplicate the existing entry and modify the vendor/product string and
- the comparison byte count, getting rid of the silly "8mm Helican Scan":
-
- /* Exabyte 8mm 5GB cartridge */
- {
- "Exabyte EXB-8500", 15, "EXABYTE EXB8500CMTBANXC0",
- ST_TYPE_EXB8500, 1024,
- (ST_VARIABLE | ST_BSF | ST_BSR | ST_LONG_ERASE),
- 5000, 5000,
- { 0x14, 0x00, 0x8C, 0x8C },
- { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
-
-
- The 15 is the number of chars in second string to compare to the concatenated
- vendor and product strings that the device actually returns.
