I once had an EXB-220 at a FreeBSD system in order to verify it's
functionality, before it eventually moved to a Sun running
Legato^WSolstice Backup.

Well, go to the vendor, and ask for their specific ASCQ. ;-)
The SCSI reference is available for download at Exabyte, and it tells
at page D-1:
[...] Table D-1 lists Not Ready (2h) error conditions.
ASC ASCQ
(byte 12) (byte 13) Description
04h 01h The library is performing an initialization after
a reset or the door was closed.
83h The front door is open.
84h The library is executing ROM boot code and cannot
execute the command.
89h The library is in serial port mode.
8Dh The library is in LCD Interface mode.
8Eh The library is in sequential mode.
Table D-1 ASC and ASCQ values for the Not Ready (2h) sense key
So it seems you have configured your library to accept medium changer
commands along the serial port (as opposed to SCSI commands).
Don't feel bad, it once hit me likewise, but my library has been in
LCD interface mode. That's been the reason for me to download the
manual. :)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
