I have not done this (or known anyone that has) so I am not trying say this
can be done, but why should NBU care if you have different media/drives in
the same robot.  When you configure each drive in the robot you have to
define what type of drive it is.  It would seem that the only issue would be
knowing which slot contained which type of media.  In a dream world the
robot should track that and pass it on to NBU.  In a practical work around
world, it would seem that if you set up separate pools or volume groups for
the different media it would work.  Has anyone tried it?  It seems that with
different drive technologies coming on and HSM available this would be an
important feature.

Ture, you may only have similar physical devices within 
a storage unit.  You're assumption is correct.
