If one has an ADIC Scalar 1000 Tape-Library that's using IBM LTO ULTRIUM-TD1 
tape drives is there any alternative to just using the IBM driver ?
Currently the "ibmtape.sys" driver we are using is at Version 5.0.3.2. 
        For a while we had Legato NetWorker server running on our new TLM 
system and it worked with the library and drives fine. 
        We ran the legato "inquire -l" command which produces the following 
from a scan of the SCSI busses.

        So the robotics and tape-drives are visible from the system. 
        And we verified the following HARDWARE registry entries:

        So the hardware is ok ...and the system sees the Library robotics and 
drives. 
        Next we uninstalled NetWorker 
        And we installed the "NetWorker-Laptop" product which is actually 
"Connected-TLM".
        That product does not find the media changer.
        So do we have to load some other driver ? 
        We're using version 5.0.3.2 of the IBM LTO tape driver. 
        Do we want the "Removable Media service" disabled ? 
        thanks - John
