Is anybody out there successfully using a DAT drive with changer?

   We are putting our servers in a remote location and I don't want to drive
   30 minutes every day to change tapes.  :-)

   If you are having success with a certain brand, please let me know.

   Thanks
   Frank

Although it is older, I use a Archive Python DDS2 with a Archive tape
changer attached to the front.  They probe like this:

st0 at scsibus0 target 6 lun 0: <ARCHIVE, Python 28849-XXX, 4.CM> SCSI2 1/sequential removable
st0: drive empty
ch0 at scsibus0 target 6 lun 1: <ARCHIVE, Python 28849-XXX, 4.CM> SCSI2 8/changer removable
ch0: 4 slots, 1 drive, 1 picker, 0 portals


The DDS2 is a little small and I would like to replace it with a DLT of
some sort, but those tend to be quite expensive.
