That's exactly what the problem was. Since we only ever had a 3494 library
before, we never needed the TSM Device driver so it was never installed
before. After installing it, the library was recognized and I was able to
define it to TSM.

-John,

-If I'm not mistaken, the TSM device driver must be used to address the
-robot controller in the STK library:

-Smitty
-Devices
-Tivoli Storage Manager Devices
