I am having similar tape problems to ones that have been mentioned
recently.
System:
DEC 3000 axp 400 (Yes I know its retired)
du 4.0d (preparing to upgrade to du 4.0e)
tlz06 firmware: 0491
First I could write but not read the tape, then I had problems just
writing to the tape. This is with three separate tlz06's.
I have the Frimware Update V5.3 CDrom. Does this include the firmware
for the tape drives as well?
I looked on Comapaq/digital's site for the files. The following url
lists firmware links for systems but not individual devices.
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/
Finally how does one update the firmware on a tape drive if need be?
Is it done with the scu utility?
