I tried to e-mail you directly but it bounced.
We currently have an Exabyte 8mm drive hooked up to our 3B2/1000 and it works
like a charm. You will need a driver for it though - it's not a matter of plug
and play. We got ours from the following company:

        Name:    Integrations Communications Enterprises
        Phone:   +1 201 579-2480
        Contact: Tony Barletta
        
Note that this company is located in New Jersey here in the states.
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Ed
