That's exactly what it is -- i.e. an Exabyte EXB-210 library, with, if
it says so, an Exabyte 8505 drive inside (there's room for two drives).

I've got one of these in my basement doing my backups (or it does them
when Amanda works! :-), though mine has a faster Eliant 820 drive in it.

VERY nice!  A 218 is even better, of course, but you take what you can
get!  ;-)

It'll probably have a narrow single-ended SCSI interface, but you should
check to be sure as they are/were available as differential and I think
even wide SE and DIFF too.  Note that the second drive has a separate
interface connector.
