Thanks for all the tape changer help!
I just wanted to say THAMK YOU! to all the helpfule people that were invaluable in helping me to get Amanda to proeprly control my HP C15159B DDS3 tape cahnger. I woulnd up using Jason Hollinden's version of the chg-zd-mtx changer script and 2.4.2pl1 , and now everytnign works great! Next to figure out how to get the cleaning tape properly integrated inot the sequence. Oh, and since the magazine only holds 6 tapes, and i am used to having a much larger tape set (24 or so) that than, has anyoone got any ideas on using multiple magazines? Maybe an email to prompt to change magazines after heting the last (cleanng) tape? In any case, thanks very much to all the imensly helpful listmembers! -- Stan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED]843-745-3154 Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 2000 Stan Brown.
