I've got a Qualstar changer with an AIT-1 drive in use daily, an Exabyte 10-i that I used to port the ch(4) driver, and I've even used the ch(4) driver on an Ampex DST 712 changer. I've never used a Spectra Logic changer, but it's possible someone else on the lists has. My guess is that it will work, but you might want to see if you can get it on an evaluation basis to make sure it works before you actually pay for it.
