I recently aimed to attach this device to our BEWS v12 media server only to discover that only the SCSI version was supported, per the HCL. IMHO, IEEE 1394 is a far better physical interface than SCSI, for whatever my humble opinion is worth. In any case, I've had to cobble together a mixed environment with BEWS using disk media and then Retrospect to transfer to the tape.
I note that while there is support for at least some of the stand-alone Exabyte drives with Firewire, the autoloaders are no where to be seen.
Please consider support for firewire autoloaders, specifically the Exabyte VXA-2 autoloader.
