I read somewhere (possibly in the V5.4 release notes) that the SCSI TK50 is _different_ for an MV2000 vs. a 3100, and that customers wanting to use such a drive on a 3100 should contact Field Service. It also mentioned that the change makes it incompatible with the 2000. I don't know any more de- tails than that, as I don't have any of that hardware.
