I have ADSM 3.1.2.55 on AIX 4.3.3 with a 3494 pibrary and 4 3590E-1A drives.
I have not had any problem as far as I can tell. I use DRM to issue the
checkout of all offsite tapes and it sends 10 out the door at a time till
it's finished. I haven't had any hangups. Sure someone has to remove the 10
so it can continue but it always does.

Am I missing something???
