            The commands 'ESS$STARTUP CLIENT TAPE' and 'ESS$STARTUP DISK
    	    TAPE' resulting in  the following after doing a show service 
    	    the system will hang and then bugcheck, the customer is 
    	    running open VMS V7.1.
    
                          Initial release of Alpha OpenVMS v6.2 does not
                          support mag tapes served via infoserver, a

    DIGITAL RESPONSE:
    
            According to Engineering, this problem is corrected 
    	    in OpenVMS Alpha  V7.0.
            
    
    Does anyone know or have any suggestions on what might be going here
    or what else we could try or check to get the "show service" 
    functionality to work sepecifically with tape.

2216.1Alpha tape "show service" problem STAR::KOJNOKWed May 14 1997 13:0413
    
    
    MADDRIVER was not supported in the initial release of Alpha OpenVMS
    V6.2.  Due to a compiler bug, I had to split MADDRIVER into two
    modules.  This was documented in the release notes. The MADDRIVER
    support was made available in the remedial steam.  There have been
    a number of fixes since.  I will provide an updated kit soon.  
    
    The current latest kit is ALPLAD03_070.  Should be available through
    your support center.
