Thanks for that :)
I can now run through the mtx tests, as per chg-zd-mtx, which feels like a
big step in the right direction.
Moving onto amtape...
$ amtape Daily reset
amtape: could not reset changer: no slots available
I'm looking through the script, but struggling to see what's wrong with my
config.
Cheers
Nige
