The 2501 seems to be a very recent drive.  It's a 2 gig QIC drive, not
a normal ``Exabyte'' (i.e., 8 mm) one.  It doesn't work at all under
FreeBSD.  I've got some pages of SCSI debug output lying on my desk at
work, will have a look there tomorrow.

The EXB-8*** problems are entirely different, they are 8 mm drives.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
