Thanks but that has not made any difference.
I noticed on the compatibility list that:
HP StorageWorks 1/8 Tape Autoloader HP^^^^^^1x8^autoloader Multi LUN HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 LTO3 HP^^^^^^Ultrium^3-SCSI SCSI LTO Tested
is tested, but there is no mention of which firmware you tested with!? the autoloader has Rev. 1.40 - 28/7/2005 which is the initial public release...
Also this is an extract of the adamm.log file - can you decypher this for me:
