We are currently developing a windows 2003 driver for our
SCSI library and now I found a problem with the media
recognition. The Microsoft Removable Storage service
detects the media in the library and creates database
entries for each piece. I currently work with two
libraries one with two SMO-F551 and the other with four
SMO-F561 drives. The library with SMO-F551 identifies the
media as '5.25" REWRITABLE DISK' and creates a media entry
with two sides. The library with SMO-F561 identifies the
media as 'Removable media' and creates a media entry with
only one side.

Why does it not work with the SMO-F561 drives?

The media types come from a table in the disk class driver which is indexed by model number. The table has been updated for Windows Server 2003 SP1 to include SMO-F561
