The 9940b entry is different. I think I got it from the STK
website.

"STK     T9940B",       "StorageTek 9940B",             "STK_9940B"; 
<-That's a semi-colon
                                                                        
                                             or comma, depending
                                                                        
                                            on whether next entry is
                                                                        
                                            uncommented.

STK_9940B       =       
2,0x39,0,0x18619,4,0x0,0x44,0x44,0x44,0,0,240,0,10800,0,0,12600;


There is also a Solaris patch, 108725-xx. Then it'll show up as 9940b w/ 
mt commands.
