I had asked:

||
|| Under Solaris 2.3, I have an older Exabyte 8500 that only works in 8200
|| mode. It DOES work as expected on an SGI, in 8500 mode. So, I do believe
|| the hardware is OK.
||
||
|| Operations on the 8500-mode densities give:
||
|| mt -f /dev/rmt/0mbn stat
|| /dev/rmt/0mbn: no tape loaded or drive offline
||
|| zia# mt -f /dev/rmt/0hbn stat
|| /dev/rmt/0hbn: no tape loaded or drive offline
||

In response I received one "me too" and one reply that produced the
solution: to upgrade the firmware in the exabyte. Indeed, the drives
I was having problems with are our oldest 8500s here.

Thank you Thomas Davinson <td@np.ph.ed.ac.uk>.
