You tried to rewind a tape changer?  I'm surprised it didn't stick its
tongue out at you and drop all the tapes on the floor.  :-)

You might grab:

  ftp://gandalf.cc.purdue.edu/pub/amanda/atl_op

That's a little test program I use to exercise my ATL robot through the
sst interface.  After you chmod +x it, try these things:

  atl_op -h                             # to see the help message
  atl_op -f /dev/rsst1 -v inquiry

But there are other problems you need to look at first ...

>- I have built the latest mtx from sourceforge :

Ummm, that would seem to be a very bad thing.  You're talking to a disk
drive, not your changer.  :-)

That, in turn, implies /dev/rsst1 is not pointing where you want it to.

Were any other /dev/rsst* devices created?  What does rsst1 point to?

What do you get if you do this:

  find /devices -name 'sst*'

What did the system reboot say (e.g. /var/adm/messages) when it scanned
the devices, in particular about your changer or the sst devices?
