You might try (getting, buying) Artecon's SCSI driver for SunOS 4.0.3
for the Exabyte tape drive.  I just had a Sun software engineer tell me
that full support for the Exabyte is NOT in the SunOS 4.0.3 SCSI driver
despite rumors to the contrary.  It is supposed to be `in the next
release'.  You know the line: "The check is in the mail." :-)
