Can anyone reveal how one check these numbers. I suppose it's not the
numbers in Information Log 1 (Firmware Version Number). My numbers
are '4 76'.

I'm in the process of moving a tape based archival system onto our
newly aquired autochanger.

The only problem I've had until now was my little mediainit script failing
for the last 3 or 4 MO surfaces due to hardware errors. It had run for
many hours, so perhaps everything got a bit too hot...
When I later initialized the surfaces one at a time, there were no problems.
