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).
