No, my message was unclear. A single drive with chg-manual should be ok. But, do you have chg-manual working? Just because you specify it as your tape changer doesn't say that. Have you tested it as I suggested with amtape? Can you get it to notify you when a tape needs changing? Can you use the several amtape command arguments to manipulate the tape and the manual changer? jl -- Jon H.
