| Does anyone know why Exabyte drives aren't supported in
| SunOS4.0.3c?
Sun didn't think anybody would want to put an Exabyte on a SparcStation,
so they didn't stick the driver in the sun4c distribution.
| Are they supported in SunOS4.1c ? Are they even supported in
| SunOS4.1 ?
There's no SunOS 4.1c - it's all called 4.1, with qualifications for the
kernel architecture. That is, my tapes say either "4.1 Sun-4c" or "4.1
SunOS Sun-4". The 4.1 mtio(4) manual page lists "8mm Cartridge Tape" as a
supported medium, with no qualifications for the host architecure.
