There is a problem with 1550.  It effects the 3rd and 4th frame in the
library.  The robot spazes out.  We found it last week ... I'd take credit.
("Hey CE, Charles, is the robot supposed to do that???  Ya ... of course. )
the next day I got a call.  "I found a problem with the library microcode
effecting the 3rd and 4th frames."

 It was good for a laugh.

        The drives are the same as a standalone to a 3584.
        There have been problems with firmware levels

        One of the firmware levels gave me errors on a few tapes that did
not
        go away. The drives ended up freezing on "3" and would not go away
until
        they got power cycled.

        Check you firmware level (latest is 1550)
