have u tried to debug mtx? i have seen this error output earlier with quantum and that was hardware problem with autochanger. and i think its always good idea to use whole command like according to mtx-changer <ciach> # mtx-changer /dev/sg0 load 1 /dev/nst0 0 (on a Linux system) </ciach> which will be nearly the same for mtx 'mtx /dev/sg0 load 1 /dev/nst0 0' AFAIK u can easy change mode on this pv-122t so you can try both methods. good luck -- bEsT rEgArDs | "Confidence is what you have before you tomasz dereszynski | understand the problem." -- Woody Allen TD840-RIPE | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
