Has anyone had any luck mixing LTO1 and LTO2 Drives in an IBM3583. We have 
installed it at one of the sites and it worked for a week and then just stopped 
working. We are working with IBM Hardware, Software (Developers who write the 
Drive microcodes and TSM for about 4 months now without any progress).

Any help is appreciated.
