I remember some contribution for Exabyte 8 mm drives that bumped this number, and i wondered what it might even be for. (I haven't come round to test the Exabyte mod's, and the surprising thing is that my EXB-8500 works fine without them. But maybe it's only been for hardware compression, i'm not sure.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
