HP Optical storage

We have an HP40T here that I would like to use this on an Alpha currently
running DIGITALUnix V3.2C with the Digital HSM product.

Unfortunately to date I have been unable to have the drives recognised.
Firstly I'd like to know if anyone is actually using HP optical on Alpha
DIGITALUnix and secondly, if so, how you've configured this in the kernel.

Here is an extract from the config file:
.
.
controller scsi0 at tcds0 slot 0
device disk rz0 at scsi0 drive 0
device disk rz1 at scsi0 drive 8
device disk rz4 at scsi0 drive 32
controller scsi1 at tcds0 slot 1
device disk rz8 at scsi1 drive 64
device disk rz9 at scsi1 drive 72
device disk rz10 at scsi1 drive 80
device disk rz11 at scsi1 drive 88
device disk rz12 at scsi1 drive 96
bus asc0 at tc0 slot 0 vector ascintr
controller scsi2 at asc0 vector scsiintr
device tape tz20 at scsi2 drive 160
device tape tz21 at scsi2 drive 168
bus asc1 at tc0 slot 1 vector ascintr
controller scsi3 at asc1 vector scsiintr
device disk rz29 at scsi3 drive 232
device disk rz30 at scsi3 drive 240
.
.

We have 2 PMAZ turbo channel adaptors one with an EXAbyte tape drive on it
and the other with the HP40T on it. The tape tz20 tz21(seen as rz3 rz4
from cnfg tc0) is seen on boot but the Optical rz29 rz30(seen as rz5 rz6
from cnfg tc1) is not. Here is an extract of the uerf:

Any help much appreciated and will summarise,
