Ah.  Careful with this statement.  It does fit, however, you need a frame
conversion, library manager upgrade, and 3592's and 3590's can't coexist in
the same frame.

We may not *convert*, but we may move our 3590's out of our L unit, upgrade
it, and move in a couple of these babies.  They do look nice, but I still hate
the thought of the dataloss, if one cart gets damaged or fails.  ooooh.
