How to contact developers of LTO-CM ?

Hi,

I have some older LTO drives and some used LTO tapes.
Would like to test and discover quality of my tapes, reading CM entries.
Please let me know if your LTO-CM app is ready to be run and how to configure
LTO drive, since I have plans to get it connected to my Android tablet not featuring SCSI
interface yet.

Ok, I can run Linux on my old PC machine.

The only known to me LTO-CM direct read device is called MLM Reader or Cartridge Memory Analyzer, not available to me.

Please let me know your opinion.

thanks
Darius

Read/Write Feature for Barcode Field

Enhancement: My proposal is to add read/write feature for "BARCODE" field in MAM. The Attribute Identifier is 0806h. Indeed, I found a potential user who wants to write barcode information to this field.

Here is my proposal on the options:

lto-cm [-f device] -r [Attribute Identifier]           : 0803h for "USER MEDIUM TEXT LABE" and 0806h for "Barcode"
lto-cm [-f device] -w [Attribute Identifier] [Message] : The same as above
lto-cm -h/?                                            : Display usage
-v                                                     : Increase verbosity

It would be great if you could let me know your thoughts on this.

Sorry, this is not really an "issue"
