Hi,

SCSI protocols are not used to communicate with the 3494 robot.  ADSM is not
emulating SCSI over a LAN.

Unfortunately for you, my site does not use NT as an ADSM server so I can't
be much help.  The contents of our ibmatl.conf are:

# Locally connected (serial port) 3494
IBM3404-02 /dev/tty1 IBM3494-02
# Remote (LAN) 3494
IBM3494-03 10.1.1.1 wpcps1

Jim
