    I know of no one who makes an autochanger for 1/4" cartridge drives.  It
would be difficult to implement because of the load/unload mechanisms in such
drives.  Anyway, if there is one for QIC-24 it would work for QIC-150 as well
(and vice-versa) because the tape cartridges are the same physical size.
