Sorry my mistake, I'm connecting my tape library to a 4100, not an 8100.
But that didn't stop the flood of responses, way too many to list them all.
The popular vote was for the: 3X-KZPCA-AA 1 CHANNEL WIDE ULTRA-2(LVD)
ADAPTER
With a few votes going for the: KZPBA-CB SINGLE ENDED DIFFERENTIAL SCSI
ADAPTER
And a couple of votes opting for a: MDR-80 FC->SCSI bridge. But one of
the respondents indicated I might have to go with fabric instead of
arbitrated loop and that isn't possible with the third party drives we have
in our loop and I can't hook it in with our HSG80 because that contains some
of the largest drives I'll be backing up.
Thanks to all the managers who took the time to respond!

UNIX is very user friendly, It's just very particular about who it makes
