RE: Mtx and chg-zd-mtx
A little more information. I f I put one tape in the last slot, then the chg-zd-mtx -info show the right values, but if I change it back to another slot, then it stop working again, and show the number of the last slot use, for example, if I put the last tape into slot 7 I receive: 1 7 1 and if I put the last one into 6 I receive: 1 6 1 Any thoughts?
