The devices are already there, you just need to know which ones they are. Changers are access as sg devices -- yours will be /dev/sg0 (it's the first SCSI device). Your tape drive is /dev/nst0. Not having used chg-scsi, I'd recommend that you may want to check out chg-zd-mtx. You'll need mtx, available from <http://mtx.badtux.net/>. I found it very easy to set up following the instructions in the chg-zd-mtx script itself. Good luck. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
