- Herstal Automation has a set of drivers for HP 9000 boxes, including
- the 800 series; their drivers support EXB-8500, EXB-10i, and will soon
- support the EXB-120 (presumably they also support the EXB-8200).
-
- Some companies market 8mm drives refurbished as 4mm emulators; these
- drives use the HP tape2 tape driver. CCG (Contemporary Cybernetics) is
- one such company.
-
- IEM may very well have 8mm drivers for the 800 series.
