I have just upgraded the firmware in my Exabyte 8200 drive to a newer version, and now it at least works with FreeBSD-current... The problem is that it is streaming very slowly. It isn't stopping and going, but it only writes about 60-80 K/second. I have heard that people use this drive, and I wanted to know if there are any special modes to select or anything. Do people ever get resonable speeds with this drive?? I know this thing is old but it seems that it should be able to write a 2 gig tape in under 6 hours... Any information would be appreciated... Fred.
