C.2 Using Exabyte Tape Drives with Isis
Isis supports all current models of Exabyte tape drives. To complete the support, the
stand-alone utility program EXABYTE.EXE is distributed with every Isis system that uses
an Exabyte tape drive. The program may be used to copy files between hard disk and
Exabyte tape drives. To copy a file from one Exabyte tape drive to another using
EXABYTE.EXE, it is necessary to first copy the file from tape to hard disk, then from hard
disk to the other tape.
If you have used software other than Isis to create a DAT or SEG-Y file, you can use the
Exabyte utility to read or write (copy) the file. However, when using Isis software to write
or read these file types, keep in mind the limitations shown in Table C-2:
