The rep at BSDI could offer no help either. Does anyone know of ANY tape software that is capable of operating an auto- loader? All I really want to do is automate the changing of tapes via a script so I can 'dump' one device per tape without having to baby-sit the tape drive. Please forgive my obvious 'newbie-ness' as I'm sure the word 'scsicmd' is on some kind readers mind, but I have absolutely no clear idea on how to use scsicmd to address the drive, or if I should be addressing the loader. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer on this. ebachman@fsi.net
