Go to ebay.com and enter a search for the keyword 'autoloader'.  You can then
search within other categories once you get familiar with how sellers describe
these drives.

Linux will support *any* SCSI-compatible tape jukebox.  They all work the same
way.

One other tip:  if your distro doesn't have it installed already, get an rpm
of the package called 'mtx' and look at the man pages for it.
