HP C1553A DAT autoloader with NSR 3.x

I am looking to implement NSR Server 3.1 with a DAT autoloader on a
DEC 3400 AXP running DigiUnix 3.2A. The SPD list of supported DDS-2
units includes only the TLZ7L, with 4-tape capacity. I am already
using several HP C1553A DDS-2 6-tape autoloaders on other systems [NT,
HP/UX] am very happy with them, and think that an additional 50%
capacity sounds appealing.

The inevitable questions:

1. Has anyone used the HP C1553A unit with NSR? Are there any
compatibility issues [see jukebox question below]?

2. Can anyone cite direct experience, good, or bad, with the TLZ7L?

3. Do I need the jukebox license [Tier 1 for DEC 3400 AXP] in order to
fully utilize NSR random access tape functions?

Thanks for your collective wisdom - Jeff
