[Linux] Ecrix AutoPak 15, mtx

[linux@flux.org]

Hello all:
  Has anyone had success getting the Ecrix AutoPak tape robot to work
  with mtx? I've been trying to get it to load or generate status
  information but no luck so far.

  I'm running the AutoPak 15 (15 slots, 2 drives). The FAQ mentions that
  it works in configuration mode 0. 
  
  I've tried mtx versions 1.2.16 and 1.2.13. 

  Other info:
  mtx -f /dev/sge inquiry returns:
  Product Type: Medium Changer
  Vendor ID: 'SPECTRA '
  Product ID: '215             '
  Revision: '1008'
  Attached Changer: No

  The tape drives are at /dev/sgc and /dev/sgd. An inquiry returns:
  Product Type: Tape Drive
  Vendor ID: 'ECRIX   '
  Product ID: 'VXA-1           '
  Revision: '2524'
  Attached Changer: No


  Using the status or load commands returns:

  [root@charon mtx-1.2.16rel]# mtx -f /dev/sge status
  mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes
  mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no
  mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=0 (Unknown?!)

  Thanks for any pointers.
