I'm using a Sony TSL-A500c, 4-tape AIT-II changer, on a RedHat
Linux box with chg-multi.  From my amanda.conf:

runtapes 1              # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tpchanger "chg-multi"   # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/ntape"    # the no-rewind tape device to be used
rawtapedev "/dev/null"  # the raw device to be used (ftape only)
changerfile "chg-multi.conf"
changerdev "/dev/ntape"

In the directory with amanda.conf my chg-multi.conf file is:

multieject 0
gravity 0
needeject 1
ejectdelay 60
statefile changer-status
firstslot 1
lastslot 4
slot 1 /dev/ntape
slot 2 /dev/ntape
slot 3 /dev/ntape
slot 4 /dev/ntape

I don't think I had to change the chg-multi file.  I run an amcheck -s
each afternoon after the backups and it advances to the appropriate tape.
