AnDataCo has been very responsive to our needs, and have had good prices
(we get educational pricing, too).  For example, the other day, we had a
disk drive die from hyperthermia, and, of course, it was a _critical_
drive, so we ordered an emergency replacement through AnDataco with the
proviso that it be delivered as soon as possible.  We received it within
36 hours.

I wouldn't hesitate to order an EXABYTE from them, if we needed another
(we have three).  They seem to value customer satisfaction.

Connecting an EXABYTE to a SPARC should be no problem, also.  We've
connected ours to a 3/50, and a 3/260.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with AndataCo, except as a satisfied
customer.
