I have[1] an L9, but it shipped with a dead drive.  I haven't been
able to find a DLT-8000 drive that I *know* will work with the library
-- all those pieces-parts to the door and loading/unloading mechanism
have to line up just right, and it has to fit into the library's
mounting brackets.

So I don't have the answer, but I'd be very interested if someone else does!
