When it came time to abandon our two (2) 7337-DLT changers (15 slots) we
got IBM to 'downgrade' us from a C10 to a C00 and then we went out and talked
to a company called "IBM" and bought a 3494 to attach to our *(now)* C00.

Sigh ... the only problem was our CE.  He wasn't happy and kept standing
in front of a mirror pointing at his reflection and saying:

         "It's that guy's problem"

... when things wouldn't work in the installation.  Sigh.

I've heard IBM has now fully embraced the concept of selling the 3466
'ala carte' and discussing media attachments as a seperate issue.
But they now call it a -C01 instead of a -C00
