QUESTION:                                                                       
We are proposing the 0840-001 EXB-10E 8mm Tape Library for use on a             
7013/590.  Will Sysback/6000 contain the necessary support to drive             
the 10 cartridge stacker?  The salesmanual mentions other software              
packages which are much more expensive than Sysback/6000.  Thank you.

A: Sysback/6000 does not supply the necessary device drivers to operate         
   the robotic arm in the EXB-10E 8mm Tape Library.  You can, however,          
   use Sysback/6000 with the EXB-10E in SEQUENTIAL mode.  This will only        
   allow you to access the tapes in their bottom-up order inside the            
   casing.                                                                      
                                                                                
   You can alternatively write your own device drivers for Sysback/6000         
   using  Writing A Device Driver for AIX Version 3.2  (GG24-3629-01).          
   Other applications like Legato Networker, ADSM, and Unitree provide          
   the necessary drivers for the internal arm.
