Hello *SM'ers...

Anyone familiar with the 3583 LTO drive?  I just installed the L36 model
(36 tapes) yesterday.  There is an extra slot at the top of each column of
18 tapes that seems to be the perfect spot for a cleaning tape.  But i
cannot find documentation to support this.  Can this drive hold a cleaning
tape internally (as the 3570 does) or must i give up one of the 36 tape
slots for a cleaning tape.

Also the options for cleaning in the docs are manual, or "host based"
meaning the software decides when to clean it.  I'm guessing i set it to
"host based" and set the drives to ASNEEDED. Is this a correct setup for
automatic cleaning?  Thanks for any info...

-Ray
