You're probably correct. Dell uses to sell IBM rebranded stuff.

For example, I've a Dell Powervault 110T (LTO3) tape drive which is 
recognised as an IBM tape drive at boot time.

Let's wait a few weeks (months?), and I'll be able to help you; I have 
just ordered the TL2000 SAS.

However, as Chris points out in his email, this tape changer is reported 
to be working with Linux. And, as Amanda uses barely only regular Linux 
tools, I guess Amanda will be able to work with it (crossing my fingers 
:-p ).

Cheers,
