DAT Autoloaders

Greetings,
Been a while since I've been around on this list, however things have
progressed. I have successfully installed two older Compaq EISA Pentium 90
machines, each wtih 4 gigs of space, and 128MB of RAM, all of which are
visible to the respective machines. On the first machine, I have mounted
two 7-changer CDROMs which seem to work just dandy, and the second machine,
has an ADIC 4mm Virtual Library. The two Sony 4mm DATs inside are visable,
and I successfully did a backup, by moving the robot arm out of the way,
inserting a tape, performing a backup with TAR per the how-to's, then eject.
My question is as follows: Does anyone know of a piece of software,
driver, or something that enables the robot arm to move? I have the
documentation somewhere, so if I could just send SCSI commands, I could use
a script scheduled by CRON to achieve what I'm trying to do.
Thanks in advance!
