It's an ADIC 1200 4mm changer. Holds 12 tapes and either a DDS-II or
DDS-I drive (too bad I only have the smaller one). I picked it up a
couple years ago from the company I was working at. They were going to
throw it away, but it works fine.

I used to have a few others at work as well. Now I'm looking to become
employed again (laid off Dec. 3 when the office here was closed,
partially a result of 9/11). I picked up the Athlons about a month
before they told us "the good news".


In other news, I've messed with this all night and can not get the tape
host to connect to the remote client. So that I can get important data
backed up, I'm going to try to nNFS mount the remote machine's dirs. and
use the tape server local client to back them up.
