  We have been running the ADSM Server (now at 3.1.2.40) on AIX  (now
at 4.2.1) for almost 2 years.  We have been using the IBM 3575 Tape Library,
and have almost saturated it (Model L-32).  We are looking at either another
3575 library, a 3494 Library or 'something else'.  A sales rep was around
the other day pushing the Qualstar 4000 Tape Library series.  The price
of the Qualstar Libraries seems to be about half that of a 3494 Library
and the capacity almost double.

  My question is, does anyone have any comments, positve or negative, about
the reliability/servicibilty and useability of the Qualstar Libraries.

  I did a search on this list for Qualstar and only found some references,
back in Nov 98, to problems with the "label libv" command.
