Problem: I have a Exibyte 8mm tape backup system connected via. SCSI to my PC using a ASPI (Advanced SCSI Protocal Interface) complient interface card. This tape drive when connected to the Mac, performs in a flawless manner. The PC tape backup software I'm using, TAPEMATE, has enough problems to be almost worthless, though it works well with other tape formats. Is there a resonably proces ASPI tape backup package that works well with the Exibyte 8mm system? I only need single system backups… Thanks William Volk (Gigabytes of Data and No Place to Go).

My company makes a tape backup package that is available in an ASPI version. The package, BakupWiz, supports a number of tape drives including the Exabytes. If you'll leave an address or FAX number, I'd be happy to send you more detail and pricing. <<< Peter Schulz >>> 11:49pm pst

William, believe me, I've used them all and get all kinds here at our mastering facility. The best one hands down is Reference Technologies REFTAPE, followed closely by Micro Design's SCSI Express software. SYPLUS is another, and woks well, but I'd prefer the other two.
