Egads, it seems to me that you are confused between Drives and Slots!
>From what I understand, you have a *single* drive, but 8 slots -- i.e. one
read head, and a set of 8 tapes that can be selected one at a time.
If this is the case, your conf file should have only one Device (i.e.
Drive-1). Drive-1 should referent /dev/nst0 and /dev/sg2 -- forget about
using /dev/st0 or any other /dev/nstx or /dev/stx.
The manual and the list can help you get this sorted out.
