We've used that changer, and are now using the 40X6I DDS4 changer, and
have been really happy with both. I've used both FreeBSD 3.x and
4.x. The only (really minor) gotcha is with the chg-chio, the changers
don't report a picker, so I commented out the test in chg-chio that
whines if $max_picker is 0, and everything works like a champ.
