With reference to my "dd" problem on DAT TLZ06 (firmware rev. 4BQE attached to
DU 3.2 ; no problem with older firmware revisions now unavailable ; see my
postings of Dec 22 and Jan 8), DEC has decided to replace the TLZ06 unit
with a TLZ09 (currently under test).

If they proceed to the replacement, since it's likely I won't be left with a
manual for the new unit, is there any difference between TLZ06 and TLZ09 I
should be aware of ? In particular :

   - TLZ06 handled DAT cassettes up to 90 m : what about TLZ09 ?

   - TLZ06 was seen as /dev/nrmt0l (2 GB capacity)
           and /dev/nrmt0h (4 GB, i.e. compressed)

     any difference with TLZ09 (triple density or other funnies) ?
