Some time back I saw an ad for a Summus tape carousel system that promised
the ability to access something like 50 high density videotape cartridges
online.  The obvious purpose is to automate backups of systems with, say,
4-8 1GB size disks.

Has anyone seen any of these working, and, if so, could you tell us more
about it?
