If it is essentially the same as the 2000 then mtx will control the changer 
and mt will control the tape drive.  Here are the tapetypes I use:

define tapetype AIT2 {
    comment "AIT-2 with 230m tapes"
    length 43778 mbytes
    filemark 3120 kbytes
    speed 5371 kps
}

define tapetype AIT2-100 {
    comment "AIT-2 with 230m tapes -- compression on"
    length 100000 mbytes
    filemark 3120 kbytes
    speed 8100 kps
}

If you are unable to get any of the changer scripts to work, try:
