Hi Jim,

I will go and have a look on the Sony website for some PDFs, with the help
of some members of the AMANDA mailling list I've managed to get it working
fine on Solaris 9. I would be very pleased if you could send me the
tapetype as it isn't in the Faq-O-Matic.

Regards
Marc

Marc,

I am using just a Sony TSL-9000 with amanda.  I use the chg-zd-mtx
script.  My os is linux though.  I do have the sony docs and I will
peruse through them to see if there is anything helpful.

Also, I am pretty sure that I navigated through the Sony web and found
pdf files for the 9000.

If you need a tapetype respond back to the list and I will send one.
Seems like the last one I ran was w/o HWCOMP so it is pretty accurate.
Might save you about 5-7 hours of time.

Jim
