Why am I not suprised? :-)

Well, sort of. We've bought three of'em just two weeks ago, and awaiting
the Veritas Netbackup 5.0 CDs any day now. That along with missing a few
metal sheets for installing the Fibre Channel interface in the robotic
library.
We have a couple of SDLT 110/220 since before, and we're very happy with
them. Once firmware versions have settled, things seems to be in order
with their functionality.
