Thanks to all who sent me responses and to Exabyte technical support!
Here is how to configure SunOS 4.1.3 for the Exabyte 8505 (SunOS 4.1.2
is identical). SunOS 4.1.1 is slightly different since it does not have
an entry for the 8500.
===============================================================================
Context diffs to add support to SunOS 4.1.3 for the Exabyte 8505. Make
these changes (i.e. add the lines marked with '+' to the appropriate
files), then rebuild the kernel, install the new kernel, and reboot.
