3734.0. "TZ897 plans" by SANITY::LEMONS (And we thank you for your support.) Thu Apr 24 1997 01:48

    Hi
    
    Is a TZ897 planned?  We're ordering TL896 and TL822-to-TL893 upgrades
    in the next few weeks.  For disaster recovery purposes, I want to make
    sure I can use tapes created in the ATLs, if we the ATLs or their
    server become unavailable.
    
    Is a TZ897 planned?  If so, when, and how much?  We'd use this until
    our TL89n units were back online.
    
    Is a TZ887-to-TZ897 upgrade planned?   If so, when, and how much?  I'd
    like to upgrade the TZ887 we're already purchased for this purpose.
    
    Thanks!

3734.1LEFTY::CWILLIAMSCD or not CD, that's the questionThu Apr 24 1997 03:026
    Go for the product manager, please, on this one.
    
    It's not a simple answer, unfortunately.

3734.2Old loader is gone...SUBSYS::TRANStraight <Left> Hitter..Thu Apr 24 1997 03:0911
    
    I saw your message to Don Ganley, did he respond to you?
    
    But if your refer to TZ8x7 loader with TZ89 drive in it, the answer is
    NO. Quantum end-of-life the 5 and 7 cartridge loader with DLT4000/TZ88.
    
    We'll have a replacement product with TZ89 but I can't give you
    specific about unannounced product in this notesfile. All I can say is
    the product is the first of TL800 Series which is TL891 (10 slots).
