Can any generic DLT-8000 raw drive be used to replace the existing one? I
believe they're all made by Quantum. Other than the tape drive issue, I've
got Amanda working fine backing up all my systems including my
Strongbolt/CentOS-based Cobalt Raq-4i system (my web server machine).

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!

I double this as I struggle with my Quantum DLT8000 inside a HP Surestore library. I am still not sure where the problems come from but I consider adding or swapping a/the tapedrive. Maybe someone knows some source ...
