Message-ID: <1658@brazos.Rice.edu> Date: 24 Sep 89 07:42:44 GMT Sender: root@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 14 Keywords: Hardware Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 8, Issue 133, message 2 of 9 Exabyte is *not* a supported drive. Trying to outsmart the driver is not smart in this instance. I put the message in for a reason- when I said 'not supported' I meant that. I don't play games with saying something works, and then it doesn't. Nor do I vouch for equipment I haven't either tested myself or have had someone test with my code. The fact of the matter was that I didn't *have* an Exabyte to work with during SS1 development- ergo, no support. I also understand that some of you out there had found that Exabytes worked with other Sun releases. This is being addressed as best as can be done. Contact Sun Consulting- a moderately cheap alternative may be available *very* soon. -matt jacob
