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?
