We have tape drive 3573 L2U on our new system. The tape drive has 2 drive heads and 2 tape magazines. Our system sees it has 2 tape drives. Is there a way to setup the tape drive so that all the slots on the left are for one drive and the right side is for the other drive? Also to have it use the tapes sequentially? We run multiple weekend saves and want the tape drive to use the tapes in sequence.

Thanks,
Kent
