Exabyte 8500 params

Sorry for my late summary, but I married two days after my query, and then
I needed two weeks to recover myself from that. :-)
Now, here is my original posting:

The solution:
The most of you take the following parameters for dumping to a 8500 in
5-GB-mode:
s=10380
d=4100000
b=112
When you try this, be sure to take rst[8-15] as the device for the 8500.
(I myself made this mistake: our 8500 comes up as rst4, and of course, I have
to use rst12 to get 5-GB-mode. :-))
Thanks again to all who responded.
