    Hello,
    I have a DLT7000 tape drive that is for standalone use, and I am attempting
    to use the drive in a library. The drive is not detected by the library
    because what I think is the drive has standalone firmware (as the drive
    is stamped with "standalone use only" on the drive).

    When I attempt to load firmware for autoloader use to the drive, I get
    an error stating "invalid personality for code update". Does anyone know
    how to change a drive from a standalone drive to an autoloader drive?
    I got the mechanics to work (the tape load/unload mechinism) but I am
    unable to get the firmware side of things figured out.

    Thanks!

     -Mike Ekholm
