Tom, I"m not sure I understand where you are going - ECART is for STK
3490's, not DLT.

BUT, I installed the fix for this problem and it works!

I started at Enh 2.1.5.13, installed ADSM V3, installed the ADSM V3 ACSLS
support, and put ADSM 3.1.2.13 on top.  And I can read the tapes created by
my old OMI drivers!

Call me !
