Specifically, do they work as expected with the CAM st0 / > ch0 drivers, and are they as reliable as Sony claims they are? Yes, they work. We've got a Qualstar 4210 with an AIT-1 drive on board: at scbus1 target 5 lun 0 (pass4,sa0) at scbus1 target 6 lun 0 (pass5,ch0) As far as reliability, I haven't noticed any problems with the drive. But then we've only been using it for a couple of months. I think the tapes are expensive, but I suppose the price is to be expected. The changer occasionally gets confused/jammed when putting tapes in the drive, but that hasn't happened very often.
