<<though there was a recall of the 8000 back in
November, according to CDW computer records, as one of them maintained. But there are some in inventory at several
places (though not at CDW; they are, however, at PC and MacWarehouse).>>
Sam,
Congrats on the legwork. Did you mean November for the recall (I thought the 8000 was much newer than that). Is there any way to reconcile your finding the 8000's in stock with Exabyte's comment about not being able to find any and some other comments others have made about them being on stop shipment? Since EXBT produces libraries that certainly utilize DLT 7000 and, I would have to assume the 8000, it seems like they should know. Somewhere, perhaps on Yahoo I read something about QNTM having had to disable the variable speed mechanism in the 8000 (which was added to help the DLT's backhitching).
My guess is that we won't get a clear answer from QNTM tomorrow so our best info is likely to come from research like yours or any resellers that might visit our board. -Z
