I would be very interested to hear what problems you're referring to.  I
was using SDLT 220 models and had no issues with at all.  Minus the
occasional NBU problem of course.

In my current position the operations group just bought 20 SDLT 320's
(or is it 330's?) and they love them.  There are 45 more on order.  So
far they've had no problems.

Can you give specifics?  I'm sure I'm not the only one interested.

doug you didn't hear it from me, but if you're at a decision point=20
right now, choose LTO's.

there have been, and continue to be, really really unpleasant=20
problems with even the latest versions of the SDLT firmware from=20
quantum.

for that reason alone, LTO's are the winner of SDLT in my opinion.=20
feel free to share this with the list, but leave my name out of it=20
please.
