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:

read DAT and SEG-Y files
