Faulhaber - jedgar@fxp.org - jedgar@FreeBSD.org So our sony sdt9000 just died (after several years of hard service) and I figured I would pop for a sony tsl-s9000 changer, expecting it would "just work". With all this discussion of funky changers, I decided I should ask, does anyone successfully use the sony tsl changer with either chio or amanda? Any other DDS changers that someone recommends (lower end of budget)? -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
