Hi,

Consensus is to treat the 4mm as a tk and all will be fine. This
seems to be the case for all SCSI-based tape drives.

I will be submitting a problem report to DEC in regards to the
documentation around this.

Thanks to...

Original query...

Hi All,

This may be a no brainer and may not even belong here so forgive me in
advance.

We have built our product into a setld'able kit form and now want
create tape distributions onto 4mm dat's

Problem: The kitcap man page and everything else I can find only talk
          about mt9 and tk50's.

Question: Is it possible/supported to use 4mm dat for software
          distribution via a setld kit and if so how?

Thanks in advance,
