You will know when the "fix" is working since you won't have device names like

overrides it and re-assigns device names, so under windows its useless. Once you get the
hotfix or ibm tape driver working, it will be very obvious.
Matthew,
This is something I am looking at just now. I have made the registry
change on a system using the IBM drivers. After a reboot the device
names do change to a format such as \\.\Tape4801101, however I have not
tested what happens when a drive goes missing. Can you confirm that it
does in fact work?
