Robert,
I'd definitely be interested in a windows binary of
mtx that will work with the C200 and the XL1B2. I
haven't bought the XL1B2, but if I know there is going
to be some functional software that works for it I
will get one.
Thanks,
Eric

No chance of that working until I issue a new update
to mtx. I have a
C200
and it has a rather severe bug that I have a fix for.
As for not showing up with scsilist that is a separate
issue. The C200
driver doesn't create a normal WIN32 device name. So
you have to enter
the
setupapi Device Interface Name. This is a really long
name that is
really
ugly and is not supposed to be entered manually. (The
intent is a
program
enumerates the devices and shows the user the friendly
names and then
uses
the ugly one internally to open the device. I'll be
adding support for
those in the next version of scsilist.
In the meantime you can figure out the name manually,
it should be in
the
registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{53f56310-
b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}
Under that key will be another key starting with
##?#SBP2#POWERFILE-C200&...
If you strip off the leading ##?# and pass the rest of
that keyname as
the
device name (in double quotes) it should work. For
example on my
system the
command is:
mtx -f
"SBP2#POWERFILE-C200&DISC_CHANGER&LUN2#003060f200002832#{53f56310-b6bf-11d0-
94f2-00a0c91efb8b}" status
If you can build the Windows version yourself then I
can send you the
updated patch to mtx, otherwise let me know and I can
build it for you.
I have fixes to support the Sony VGP-XL1B as well.
