I'd pose here a sound-silly question.  Does the Exabyte really have ID5?

I've a 8mm tape drive labelled "EXB-8200" at front panel.  I hooked it
with Personal DECstation and verified it owes to its SCSI selector.
The drive has a rotary selector with "arrow" at behind. 

In an extreme case, the block connector from ID selector is socketed
"upsidedown" which means any selections except for ID0 brings ID7.

If this is not your case, please neglect this message.  Above was what I
did for other SCSI drivers ever before...
