Dennis,
Are you referring to some other brand of silos/libraries or are you talking
about external stand-alone 3590's? If it's the latter, you can certainly
define them to a single library by :

define devc ext3590 devtype=3590 format=3590c mountl=2
define libr manlib libt=manual
define dri manlib tape1 device=/dev/rmt1
define dri manlib tape2 device=/dev/rmt2
