Hi

Not sure why you're hunting me, as I'm no fountain of ADIC Scalar i2000 
knowledge :).

Since you don't want to repair the robotics, but still want to avoid manually 
looking for tapes, I'm not sure how to make this work.  You need the robotics 
working in order to scan the slot locations, to create the map of what is where.

Anyone think of a way to make this work?

Thanks
