 I have googled and searched the archive, but found nothing.

 I'm trying to configure an Overland LoaderXpress with Networker:
 - RedHat Enterprise 3
 - Sun diffSCSI card, sym53c8xx driver
 - LoaderXpress LXL7110
 - Networker 7.2.1

 A test backup to the tape drive worked fine, but I cannot configure the
 jukebox. sjisn and jbconfig don't see it.

 Yes, I am aware that the Overland is not on Legato's HWC list, but I
 thought there might be a way to get it to work anyway? I found an article
 on Overland's support site "Why can't I see my Overland LXB Library with
 Backup Exec for NetWare?", stating that Veritas doesn't recognise the LXB
 because its SCSI ID is higher than the tape drive's (6 vs. 4) and suggesting
 to change the LXB's ID to 3. I tried that with no success.
