At the time they wrote that everyone was interfacing amanda to the changer software that came with their individual OS or tape changer or various freeware offerings. Since chg-scsi has been out there's far less reason to try all the choices. I would suggest you start with chg-scsi and a more modern version of FreeBSD. Also, there are a lot of experienced amanda users on the amanda list at amanda-users@amanda.org who can help.
