I am in progress of installing Bacula on some host with Neo4000e
attached. The load times are similar to the ones of e.g. Quantum
SuperLoader3.

2 Minutes sound reasonable, you can see stuff moving through the front
window. What do you mean by 'nothing at all': just from the software
point of view, or if you look inside the hardware (if that is possible
with the 8000e)?

However, mtx, Bacula and the library itself have quite different
opinions on which way to number the slots. No big deal mostly but for
the 'mail magazine'. I have not yet further investigated this.
