I've got a 15-tape Ecrix changer that seems to work fine. <ECRIX VXA-1 2848> at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (pass0,sa0) <SPECTRA 215 1008> at scbus0 target 3 lun 0 (pass1,ch0) <IBM DDYS-T18350M S93E> at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,da0) <SUPER GEM354 REV001 1.04> at scbus1 target 6 lun 0 (ses0,pass3,pt0) I haven't used it much (2-3 backups so far), but I haven't seen any problems so far with it.
