Hello Jack, First confirm that your 3570-B11 library is not set at 'Manual' mode. Put it to 'Automatic' or 'Random' if you want your NT system to have a control on the library.
Then, set the library configuration to 'Base', if you want to use both drives as a single library. Now it is set at 'Split' configuration. Both the setting can be changed from the 'operator panel' in front of the library assembly.

This unit was previously being used on an AS400 within this company. I found 3 sets of drivers for NT on the IBM site, and I downloaded them. The only one that came near working is IBM Device Drivers 1.1.7.5 for the Magstar. Now my issues: 1) Is there some special option on the 3570 I need to use it with NT? 2) The system sees the drives, and the library. But it will not write on the tapes, or load tapes into the tape drives. 3) The library appears as a 'split' library, with 10 tapes allocated to each of the two tape drives, not like a shared library. I would like to use it as a single library with 12 slots. 4) The library has a bar code reader in it, but the drivers in NT don't seem to recognize it. ... These are my troubles. Any suggestions? .. Thanks ... Jack
