Marc,

Here is the tapetype for Sony TSL9000

define tapetype SonyTSL9000 {
    comment "just produced by tapetype program"
    length 11685 mbytes
    filemark 444 kbytes
    speed 855 kps
}

I wonder how to get it added the Amanda website stuff?

The manual I have, really on has stuff on what buttons to press and what
all the LCD output means.


Jim
