No reason at all other than there is nothing in the 
documentation that would indicate that it is a better choice. 
The docs seem to indicate that the chg-scsi is a more direct 
interface, especially for the Linux 2.6 kernel that has changer 
support.

I am still baffled that my earlier request for configuration 
suggestions only got one reply and that was to say "read the 
wiki" which provided no more insight than the other docs. Is no 
one out there using an adic Scalar tape library? It seems odd 
that if no one is using it that chg-scsi recognizes it 
specifically.

I'll give chg-zd-mtx a try.
