6.2.3 3590 (Magstar,NTP)

    MountainGate has announced that they will have, later this year, a
300-cartridge autochanger.

IBM of course makes numerous autochangers for NTP; the 3494 and 3495
models both support it. More info at
http://www.storage.ibm.com/storage/hardsoft/tapls.htm. (They probably
have smaller libraries, too.)

Word in the newsgroup has it that STK robots won't support Magstar due
to the rivalry between IBM and STK.
