Thanks, Thomas, this helps.
I'll have to get familiar with RSM.
Anyone know which driver, TotalStorage or RSM, is the preferred method for
connecting TSM with this tape library?

this is true, if you want to use removeable storage manager (RSM)
with tsm it should be no problem using different scsi buses.
