Craig,

My L9 has an LTO drive, but no, I am not aware that the cables are
any different than LVD or SE. But I could be wrong, my cables came
with the card and drive, all purchased together.

I found the chg-zd-mtx drivers/glue the correct ones for my site.

I didn't place a cleaning tape in the L9, the request to clean has
come on so infrequently that it was absolutely not worth it for me
to give up the slot. YMMV.
