Exabyte VXA tape drives - anyone using?

[Rob]

Hi All,
We have an Exabyte VXA-2 tape drive that I'm planning to hook up to a FreeBSD server.  It's been on different box running linux for a few years.

Wondering if anyone has tried to run the "vxaTool" utility for this drive using Linux emulation on FreeBSD?  It's just a simple utility for operating & running diagnostics.  Unfortunately, source isn't provided, nor a BSD binary.

  -Thanks,  RW
