I have quite a number of 8200's here (though I don't really use them much anymore since I now have a Mammoth) that I have installed new firmware in. From an email discussion with an Exabyte tech support person back in '93 (I believe it was), the latest level of firmware in shipping 8200's (this was right at their end-of-life) was: MX: 2680 SV: C034 This is for generic models. OEM models may have different versions due to customizations. At the time he sent me the newest (but not ever installed in shipping products) MX firmware rev 2687 (SV C034 was still the newest) . I have, as a matter of course, upgraded the firmware in all of my 8200's to this 2687/C034 combination with good success. I have both of these ERPOM files handy and would gladly email them to anyone that wants them (you'll need access to an EPROM burner).
