Not offhand. But (at least a couple of years ago) you could log into the Exabyte BBS and find out: 303/442-4323. Once you find out what version you need, you can order direct from Exabyte (303/442-4333 x3201). It's a set of two PROMs that you replace on the drive...I last did this in ~92 and it was about $125 for the firmware upgrade. It's important to check first with the mfgr of your interface card to see what will work best with the interface. -- Chuck Lane "I wish to God these calculations Drexel Univ.
