When you say 'recognized and configured automatically', what exactly does
this mean? Do you mean by Sun's 'st' driver? I haven't used DLT arrays
before, hence my questions. 8-)

Ok, thanks for this tip. I'm going to try and secure the L9 array since
it's virtually new and a perfect small backup solution.
How are you using it with Amanda btw? Do you use 'chg-scsi', or are you
controlling it with the 'mtx' utility using 'chg-zd-mtx' or similar?
Regards,
Craig.
