3434.10Bad PTM!!!!ACISS2::STOUGHTONThu Feb 27 1997 16:5116
    I have inspected this ATL drive and found that the PTM was bad from day
    one. It would take the tape and try to create a hole in the right hand
    side of the cabinet! Smacked it pretty good.
    
    The previous service provider replaced the PTM and all is ok with the
    unit.
    
     We should have a 2100 here shortly for testing to see if the DLT4000
    drives will work with DECunix.
    
     In the event of a tape failure (provided this works,) a tz88 drive
    will replace the failed drive until all drives are replaced. ( This
    could take several years.)
    
     Thanks

3434.11are you still going to be running with NSR?DECWET::LENOXWhy is DECdirect so out of date?Thu Feb 27 1997 20:377
Currently we only test NSR against the firmware that
Digital produces for those tape libraries.  It should
probably work, it is just a question of support if
it doesn't.

just curious...
