Please bear in mind the page is for TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) so even if
you find your drive in there it still may mean you need a driver. It is
often the case when an IBM driver is required that both the driver and
drive firmware must match.

I'm going to duck out now except to say one more thing. When I've had to
install TSM on a windows machine & it's gone wrong it has always been the
driver (or getting windows to use the right driver) at fault.

Thanks Guy, but these troubles are only seen with tar / mt.
Both drives work fine with LTFS.
