One thing to be wary of (Justin & Ken correct me if I'm in err) is that
CAM cleans up the chio CHIOGSTATUS ioctl a bit. Old code from places like
netbsd needs fixing in order to do things like see if a tape is present in
a slot.

So for example, amanda's chio-based changer code won't compile for you
without modification.  I'm looking into that right now.
