HSZ40's and TZ88 Tape Drives

We've got a pair of HSZ40-BF (Software=V2.7) and we recently bought a New
TZ-88N-VA DLT Drive. The drive seems to run fine with the HSZ40, but the
HSZ40 software spd does not mention the TZ88 in the list of supported tape
devices.

We have no problems with our other TAPE (A TZ87) and I was wondering if I
can expect problems with the TZ88. I searched the www.digital.com site but
did not find anything useful. Is there a place on the internet where we can
check compatibility between devices BEFORE ordering stuff ?

We also received a letter from DEC mentionning a free upgrade of the HSZ40's
software (maybe the new release does support the TZ88 in a "regular" manner)
and we sent back the coupon to receive the upgrade since 2-3 months now. We
did not receive anything back from DEC. Did someone receive/not receive the
sofware after completing the request ?

                                Thanks !
