- Single-ended as opposed to differential SCSI. Our MIS-2 is single
- ended as well, and we are getting ready to put an Exabyte drive
- on it, so this thread is very interesting to me...

- (Don't forget to add any SCSI disk drives as well. They should be
- SCSI device 1, 2, etc.) What is the sysadm front-end? This sounds
- like the 3B2 sysadm menus, but I don't see any trace of anything
- like that on our Pyramid. Our machine has drivers for the Exabyte
- 8200 but *not* the 8500. Maybe that is your trouble?
