[ADSM-L] When did IBM become so closed (kinder word than I was going to use)?

I went out looking for firmware updates for my IBM 3592E06 drives that live
in my IBM 3583 Library. I realized I needed to go to Fix Central from the
last time I went looking (a year ago) and couldn't find them on the FTP
site.
What I wasn't expecting is the need for my tape drive serial numbers. Then
after supplying one of them, I was denied the firmware since our drives are
not under an IBM maintenance contract.
Anybody care to share?
