   I'm currently using a Sony TSL-11000 8-tape DDS4 changer with
AMANDA.  Most of the small changers I've worked with can be controlled
with mt (for the drive) and mtx (for the loader).
   Poking around the AMANDA site (www.amanda.org), especially the
mailing list archives, should uncover a long list of models.  I think
this question gets asked on that list about once a week.

Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "Practice?"
