Yes, we've been using ours for a bout a year.

The operator must always manually hit the 'Eject' button to unload the
magazine.  It's not neccessary to take the unit 'offline'.  Do NOT hit the
'Eject' button while a tape is loaded!  This will unmount the tape in the
drive and place it into the magazine regardless of what ADSM might be
doing with that tape.  This has somewhat negative side effects on ADSM and
it doesn't appreciate it.  :)
