Due to issues in development Library and Tape
Tools cannot be reliably used to diagnose
potential issues with the DAT 40 Hotplug drive
(Q1546A only). This problem is currently being
investigated and will be corrected in the next
revision of Library and Tape tools. This note will
be updated once the problem has been corrected
but until then do not use Library and Tape Tools
to diagnose issues with this product. This problem
only relates to the Q1546A product, no other DAT
40 variants are affected
