2. Project Summary
   2.1. Project Description

        This project introduces the package of MTX 1.3.11, a set of media
        changer tools into the SFW consolidation.
    
4. Technical Description
        
        MTX is a set of low level driver programs to control features of SCSI
        backup related devices such as autoloaders, tape changers, media
        jukeboxes, and tape drives. It can also report much data, including
        serial numbers, maximum block sizes, and TapeAlert? messages that most
        modern tape drives implement, as well as do raw SCSI READ and WRITE
        commands to tape drives. MTX is designed to be a low level driver in
        a larger scripted backup solution, such as Bacula or Amanda. MTX is not
        supposed to itself be a high level interface to the SCSI devices that
        it controls.
