been there, done that! :)
I use amtape with chg-scsi to drive an ADIC-218 tape library
connected to an Origin200 running irix-6.5.6m.
Works fine, though I can't use the barcode reader at the moment.
I haven't played with it extensively though, but I'm sure that
with the proper doc Thomas Herper can help you. He did it for
me... Make sure you have amanda-2.4.2p2.
