Just to keep you posted, the PV-132T works fine for me on Debian woody,
amanda version 2.4.4p1-20030716, with chg-zd-mtx and mtx-1.2.16rel. 
Still scratching at setting up my disklist and dumpcycle, but actual
backup and restore are working.

The barcode reader works, see `Barcode readers' in the amanda
FAQ-O-matic (http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/273.html).

Attention to potential buyers: the changer doesn't properly support the
SCSI `EAAP' command, which means you can't use its import/export slot
from mtx.  (See
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3005134&forum_id=5040
for more details.)  This doesn't hurt amanda operations, of course.

Let me know if any of you want more information.  (Also, Jon, do you
want an update for your usage survey?)
