I was never able to get stacker to work with my 2m/4m doublecard, and
finally just satisfied my self with the 2m part. One piece that helped in
this decision was that my `create stacked voume' software stopped working
from the serial-numbered disk; I think it counts how many times you try
to use it, or possibly I damaged the disk -- in any event, it no longer
accepts the number on the disk as correct. Someone else posted that
stacker (another form than with the doublecard) wasn't worth it on Mr. Z --
too slow.

I too would like to hear about a working configuration, I might want to try
it again some day....
