I know that you did it under HP-UX, but any help right now would be nice. Hey, I'll even let you log into my linux server if you want to take a look at the jukebox and see what it does. Anyway, I'd really appreciate your help. It sounds like your Maxoptix 520 is a jukebox with two physical disk. Yep, that's the one.
All jukeboxes have a carriage controller.
What I've come to find out is that Maxoptix is pretty stingy when it comes to drivers. I don't know how some of these companies stay in business. I'm going to pester them again soon, but you are right, this thing will need a carriage controller driver to operate. I'll be looking into that too. Hey, if I can't find any driver software, and I can convince Maxoptix to give me the specs, I'd be more than glad to write a driver.
