Where can I get this code? I don't seem to have it, or I'm not seeing it. What I have managed to do is adapt a perl script originally intended for a HP autoloader, which controls the drive through raw SCSI commands. I've created a glue script for that older script, so that amtape can deal with it. As soon as I get the rough edges polished off, I'll make it available to the Internet community. -- Robert Levandowski Internet Systems Analyst, ACC Long Distance Corp. macwhiz@phoebe.rochester.ican.net [Opinions expressed are solely my own, and not those of ACC Corp.]
