Hi Joe..
I believe that the only model that uses the DLT drives is the C10, which
really wouldn't make sense as an upgrade for Michelle. After further
perusal of the salesmanual, it would appear that the C30 would be the
appropriate Cxx model upgrade.
As a matter of fact, the 3466-C30 appears to be the designated
replacement for B01, B02 and B03. The C30 will hold 2 - 6 Magstar 3590
drives and up to 1295 slots.
Let me know if I can answer any more questions...
