Using a Spectra Logic 2000 autoloader, with one AIT-1 drive and 15
tapes.
The chg-scsi in amanda 2.4.2p1 seems to work well with the robot. I had
to disable hardware compression with "mt datcompression off", but other
than that, things are going fine.
I'm using an Adaptec 2944 HVD scsi card, a Dell Pentium III 866Mhz, and
RedHat 7.0. I've also tried Redhat 7.1 betas Fisher and Wolverine, with
a 2.4.x kernel. I kept getting SCSI timeout errors when accessing the
robot, so I went back to RedHat 7.0 and kernel 2.2.17.
