It does not, in fact, have to have a picker, since the HP model is that of a rotating cartridge that presents to a tape. Picker is a misleading name- you have IE, MT, ST, DT elements in a changer. These are Import/Export, Media Transport, Storage Type and Data Transfer elements. All are optional buti n particular, both the MT (picker) and IE elements do not have to be present to have a valid changer. You'll find, btw, that an Archive Python is much the same.
