# B.4. st changes

No interface changes. In lk 2.2 the maximum number of extra tape devices that could be added after boot time was limited to 3. This limitation has been removed (leaving a maximum of 32 tape devices as noted earlier).

A variant st driver called "osst" to handle early model OnStream tape drives has been added in lk 2.4 .
