>I am running v5.11 on a Compaq Evo laptop with Windows XP.  We have a need
for a "mobile" tsm solution from time to time.  I am trying to talk to a
single, manual, ADIC LTO200D drive.  I had communications with the tape
drive natively through windows, but even after I disable the media changer
through the O/S, I can't get TSM to talk with the drive.  I am using the
IBM Ultrium drivers for the tape drive, but it is not working.

This configuration has worked for us in the past on a Thinkpad running
Windows 2000 Professional.  I believe this is a device driver issue with
Windows XP.  Is there anyway I can make the device driver work with
Windows XP so I can move data to the ADIC drive or should I look for an
Ultrium driver that works on XP or 2003 since 2003 has similarities to XP.<

In answer to your question as to why W2KPro works and XP doesn't, check the
