Hi folks,

I have two external scsi tape devices (DLT 35/70 and a VXA 33/66) that I would
like to attempt to make a cheap changer if you will or possibly just assign
certain clients to a particular drive.  Does anyone have any quick how-tos or
sample docs on either of the above?  I see a definition of "chg-manual" in the
TAPE.CHANGERS doc, but not sure how to move forward with that.
Amanda is running just fine with a set of clients connected to the first drive,
but I need to introduce more clients which will require me to invoke the second
drive ....

Running amanda tape server ver. 2.4.4p2 on Fedora linux.

TIA,

-graham
