TLZ Loader MKDRIVER update for OpenVMS VAX?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Where can I get a copy of the MK driver enhancement kit (QA-M1AA-Up.6.1) that
 will allow me to use a TLZ7L DAT autoloader on a VAXstation 4000-90 running
 VMS 5.5-2?

The Answer is :

 
  According to the listings the OpenVMS Wizard has access to, the TLZ7L
  is first supported in V6.1.  (That said, at least one other DAT/DDS
  loader -- the TLZ9L -- was qualified back on OpenVMS VAX V5.2-2H4.)
 
  If you wish to try using the device on older releases, please acquire
  and install the mandatory ECO kits -- including the VAXSCSI and VAXBACK
  kits -- for this OpenVMS VAX release.
 
  Please seriously consider an upgrade of your OpenVMS VAX release to a
  more current release; V5.5-2 shipped back in 1992.
 
  The V5.5-2H4 release order is QA-001AA-UW, but a (far) more current
  release than that is recommended.
 
  Jukebox (loader) software would be required, if other than sequential
  operations are to be performed with this device.
