What version? The tapetype program with 2.4.2* is much better than the
one with 2.4.1*. And if you're just starting with Amanda, you should
be starting with the latest release (2.4.2p2).

A word of caution. That drive has had serious problems reported here.
I don't use either it or the OS that's usually involved, so don't
remember much more about it, but you might search the mailing list
archives for advice.
I suspect you'll also find a tapetype for it and can avoid running
that yourself.
