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? Well i think i could try hooking up our sony dds3 to a bsd box to check chio behaviour... (its on a nt box cause amanda can't dump filesystems larger than one tape, so we still have to do those with agent.be. :( ) >Any other DDS changers that someone recommends (lower end of budget)? The hp 6-slot dds2 drive seems to have no problems with chio (and amanda with a small patch), as long as you walk to the box and push front panel buttons when you need to run the cleaning tape. (see other thread. but i haven't yet given up hope that that can't be fixed...)
