You can get new drive firmware if need be from the Exabyte BBSs or 
www.exabyte.com.

I'm using 

ncr1 <ncr 53c810 scsi> rev 2 int a irq 11 on pci0:11
(ncr1:5:0): "EXABYTE EXB-8200 2687" type 1 removable SCSI 1
st1(ncr1:5:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x0,  drive empty

with 2.1.0R without problems.
