PLEASE CONTRIBUTE YOUR HARDWARE!--------------------------------If you are currently using mtx on hardware not listed below, pleaseforward me the result of 'mtx inquiry' on your hardware, plus the firstfew lines of 'mtx status', so that I can add it to the list. That EMAIL address is:    eric@badtux.orgCompilers:----------mtx requires the GNU 'make' command in order to build. On FreeBSD or otherUnixes you must thus install 'gmake' and use that command for building.In addition, it has only been verified to compile correctly using theGNU "C" compiler. It may not compile with vendor "C" compilers, whichtypically tend to implement an earlier version of "C" than the versionimplemented by "gcc". Operating Systems:-----------------mtx 1.2 is currently known to work flawlessly under the followingoperating systems:Linux (2.2.5 kernel and above)FreeBSD (tested with versions 3.2 and above, but should work for all 3.x         and 4.x). Various people have reported that they have managed to make mtx workon various versions of Solaris. Please check the mtx list archives (http://mtx.sourceforge.net ) to see how they've done it.IRIX 6.5 apparently works flawlessly:(Richard.Lefebvre(@AROBAS)cerca(.POINT)umontreal(.POINT)ca):I just wanted to send you 1 or 2 comments on mtx. I just downloaded itlast friday to use with and SGI Origin2000 and an 8 slot DLT autoloader.The whole thing compiled fine (under gcc).From Dan Wright (dtwright at uiuc dot uiuc.edu):  I just wanted to send an e-mail to let you know that mtx 1.2.9  works great for me on IRIX 6.5 with an ADIC FastStor DLT8000.  IRIX 6.5 has a generic scsi interface installed by default, so to  access the autoloader I use "mtx -f /dev/scsi/sc1d1l0" (bus 1 id 1  lun 0).  Vendors:--------'mtx' tries to stay with generic SCSI media changer commands, thusworks with most vendors' products (see list of tested media changersthat follows). The following vendors have been singled out for specialmention because they provide easily-accessible SCSI documentation viatheir web site, thus making it easier for people world-wide tocontribute to 'mtx' development:  Tandberg Data  http://www.tandberg.com  Exabyte/Ecrix  http://www.exabyte.com  SpectraLogic   http://www.spectralogic.comIf contacting other companies asking them to provide easily-accessibleSCSI documentation for their loaders, please be polite. Remember, several'mtx' contributors work for those "other" companies.----------------Changer Devices----------------The following has been directly tested:* Exabyte 220 with 1 drive   (21 slots)* Exabyte 220 with 2 drives  (21 slots)* Exabyte EZ-17  (7 slots)    Known quirks: Must eject tape using 'mt' or 'tapectl' prior to using  the 'unload' command.* Seagate DDS-4 DAT AutoLoader (1 drive, 6 slots)       Product ID: 'DAT    06241-XXX'      Known quirks: Uses LUN 1 for robot. On Linux, must compile kernel with     "Scan SCSI LUNs" or add the following line to your /etc/lilo.conf (and    re-run /sbin/lilo):         append="max_scsi_luns=2" * DISC D-40 optical library (2 drives, 40 slots, 1 import/export): Yes,  it really does report that it's a Maxoptix!

'transfer' command does not work because of mechanical limitations of    the hardware. Initial mtx status takes a while.

Reads bar codes by yanking    tapes out of slots and waving them in front of bar code reader, so    inventory of tapes with no bar code is VERY slow (bar code your tapes!).* Seagate Scorpion DDS-3 4-tape autochanger      (jsled at normandy dot smarttouch dot com):         Vendor ID: 'ARCHIVE '         Product ID: 'Python 04377-XXX'* Overland 15 tape 1 drive DLT changer: (asmith at umdgrb dot umd dot edu)   Vendor ID: 'OVERLAND'   Product ID: 'LXB             '* ADIC DAT AutoChanger -- 1 drive, 12 slots, 1 import-export:      Vendor ID: 'ADIC    '   (andrew_gray at irobotics dot com)      Product ID: 'DAT AutoChanger '   Quirks: firmware version 0357 does not appear to work w/mtx (request   from ADIC that they upgrade your firmeware to 0361, which does   seem to work), firmware version revision `0462` does work. Use    'mtx inquiry' to detirmine which firmware you have. * HP 1/20 DLT loader: "We have a HP 1/20, but I think it's all the  same hardware. mtx works fine with it." (jo2y at midnightlinux dot com)* Exabyte 120 (116 slots, 4 tape drives): (wsb at paralleldata dot com)  Quirks: This loader does not properly support the loader slot assignment  page used to allocate element structures, so the #defines must be  changed in mtx.h for MAX_STORAGE_ELEMENTS, MAX_TRANSFER_ELEMENTS, and   MAX_TRANSPORT_ELEMENTS. May also need to increase the SCSI timeout to  do inventories.
