We are also seeing this on our 8mm and DLT drives and robots, at the 2.1.0.7
level.  It was annoying, so I wrote a little script that will automatically
configure such devices, making them Available.

PS:  I'm sure someone will ask, so here is the exec.  All I ask is that you
     not blame me when it trashes your system!  It's a Uni-Rexx script, so
     if you don't have a Rexx interpreter, you won't be able to use it as is.
     However, it shouldn't be too hard to do something like this in a shell
     script.
