I tried to use chg-scsi, chg-multi - had no succes. After that I finally
downloaded mtx program. Now it can do something - it can load the tape from
the changer slot in to the tape recorder, and it can move tapes from one slot
to another. But in most cases it can not unload the tape from the tape
recorder - reports with something like this "can not move tape from element
82 to element 5" where 5 is the number of the slot from where the tape was
loaded into the recorder. I tried botn mtx 1.2 and 1.1 - the same error
appears.
I have no idea why it thinks of tape recorder as of element 82. The command
like "unload 0 5" doesn't work either....
Any ideas of how to fix this are very welcome !
thanks,
Murat
