Can SLCs support Exabytes?

[Mike Anderson]

Greetings!

  I've got 3 Exabyte drives (8200s) that work great on my lowly Sun 3s
but don't work worth a hoot when I attach them to my new SLCs.  I'm
running SunOS 4.1.1B, the SCSI I.D. for the Exabyte is I.D. 5 (st1)
and I've got bus termination set O.K.  The disk drives I've tried
backing up are both Fujitsu (2263SA and 2266S/H) and I'll get
some variable number of feet into the tape when I'll either get
a "write error" or a "data overrun" error.  I've even tried backing
down from synchronous SCSI to async SCSI to no avail.  Has anyone
seen this problem before and/or know a work around?

Thanks in advance,
