[Networker] Storagetek SL500 tape library?

Does anyone know if the Storagetek SL500 tape library allows you to beable to move tapes around directly from the GUIpanel on the library? Also, does it allow you to be able to see aninventory of the tapes, and/or their associated bar codes?

The reason I ask is because we have an older L80, and it offers no suchability. The panel does allow some configuration,but no manipulation of the media, and you can't see what the librarythinks it has or the bar codes is has saved in its little brain.They do sell an ancillary software package that does allow you to seethis information and move tapes around, but youwould do this remotely. And, of course, we can use the NetWorkersoftware, but I like being able to have this control whenI'm right there at the library; it's a nice feature for the operator(s).Our Quantum libraries have always had these features.I would think the SL500 would offer more advanced features over the Lseries, but I could not find any specific information

about this.
