FDDI / SCSI bridge/switch

I have some SCSI tape drives that need to be housed away from the computer room. I'm trying to find a way to connect them to an L2000 (currently the tape drives are connected to an Alpha OpenVMS system via an FDDI / SCSI solution via an MTI StinfRay).
We have one OpenVMS server remaining to migrate to HP-UX and I need to connect the SCSI tape drives to the HP-UX Server via FDDI or fibre in some fashion. The tape drives are an IBM 3270, Emulex 8mm, an HP 9-track (yes, we still have clients using that ancient thing, so we must have it here to read their tapes).

Can anyone offer a solution or point me in the right direction to find a solution(s)?

Thanks in advance!

..Joe

Re: FDDI / SCSI bridge/switch

You can do it with an HP Fibre channel SCSI bridge 2100. Go to hp.com, and search under products. Weve used them before to do what you want.
