6347.0. "TLZ09 and VMS VAX 5.5-2 software required?" by ADOV01::JARMAN () Mon Jan 27 1997 17:48

    I have a customer running a VAXstation with VMS 5.5-2 who wants to buy
    an external DAT.
    
    The SOC lists TLZ09-D* as suitable, but lists under Operating system
    support the following:
    
    - OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, V5.5-2H4, V6.0, V6.1 (requires MK driver
    enhancement kit (QA-MT1AA-Up.6.1)
    - OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
    
    I assume that this means that for any of these older revs you need the
    MK enhancement kit - 
    
    My question is - how does the customer order it? - it is not listed in
    our price book, nor is it shown as included in the TLZ09-D* part number
    if you look it up in VTX CEO
    
    thanks in advance
    Brian Jarman, Technical Support, Adelaide, South Australia

	The QA-MT1AA-xx part number is incorrect -- I think that kit is for OpenVMS Alpha, and that it's probably even misworded. (I'd contact the TLZ folks directly -- Jeff James at DTN 237-2023, or John Celi, DTN 237-3126.) 1 QA-MT1AA-H8 OVMS Alpha Bin+Onlin DOC CDRM 314.00 2 QA-MT1AA-T8 OpenVMS Alpha V1.5 MUP 225.00 I would, however, acquire a copy of the _OpenVMS VAXSCSI03_061 VAX V5.5-2-V6.1 SCSI Drivers ECO Summary_ kit from the Internet patch area, or from COMET/STARS, or from the customer support center. _OpenVMS VAXBACK05_U2055 VAX V5.5-2 - V5.5-2HF BACKUP ECO Summary_ is another patch that might be applicable useful. If you're going to use the TLZ09 for standalone BACKUP, you'll also need an update to STABACKIT.COM -- version 44 or later. This release of OpenVMS will not likely correctly identify this drive. (I'd really suggest the customer upgrade: V7.1 is current -- V5.5-2 is well over four years old... It'll be in Kindergarden next year. :-)
6347.2	5.5-2h4 still available	VYGER::JASPERT		`Thu Feb 20 1997 04:00`	5
	If its for a VAXstation, the OpenVMS VAX 5.5-2h4 media kit is still available, part # QA-001AA-UW. I dont know if the TLZ09 will work at this version level, but I believe its the last v5 media kit. Tony Jasper.
