I think what I did was to receive a letter from Contemporary Cybernetics
announcing their new drive.
The biggest I've had from them was 8GB with option to vary up to 35GB
depending on data type.
Exabyte won't do it native.
I can't give any guarantees on their new big-time stuff, but what I've
had did pretty much what they said it would do.
I never quite got as much performance as their adds show, but I've gotten
1/2 of their claim, and that has impressed the heck out of everyone I've
talked to. 500KB/sec - !!! Their new ones claim 2MB/sec
