I just finished a TKZ09 driver for Windows NT V4.0 Intel. If you want
to be a tester send me mail and I'll send you a pointer to the kit. I already
have one field test site that is up and running.

5627.2 | | LEFTY::CWILLIAMS | CD or not CD, that's the question | Wed Feb 05 1997 12:16 | 6 |
| TLZ09 or TKZ09? 2 different beasts....The TLZ is a 4mm DAT, and the TKZ
is an 8mm drive. Big difference.... And I think Steve's driver is
really for the TLZ09.

Chris, I believe Steve really has a TKZ09 driver. I know the
guy doing the field test.

It's hard to keep up with Steve. He cranks out those tape drivers much
too quickly. ...makes it look easy, which it may be for him. And he's
ever so willing to write more code to support more drives!

5627.7 | | LEFTY::CWILLIAMS | CD or not CD, that's the question | Thu Feb 06 1997 11:09 | 8 |
| Yeah, but I should know better.... We talk every day at lunch...
Plus, he's working on a couple of new drives for us right now.
Sigh. I used to be able to remember everything we made. Must be getting
old.

5627.9 | nice, it may need a legend of sorts | DECWET::LENOX | Johanna Maarit is walking before 10 months! | Mon Feb 10 1997 14:18 | 7 |

when will most of it be filled in?
What the difference between 'Driver Required' and
a driver found in a service pack? E.g. There is
a driver for the TZ89 in the NT 4.0 Service Pack 2,
should we be using something different?

I'm working on it in my spare time. I hope to complete
most of it this week.
Driver required means an unsupported or Digital supported
driver is available. Service Pack x means there is a Microsoft
supported driver in the service pack. You should use Microsoft
drivers if possible.
The TZ89 support is in SP2. I need to change the table.

5627.11 | thanks alot | TROOA::GREENALL | | Wed Feb 12 1997 06:18 | 10 |

wow, I thought getting a hold of a driver for a tkz09 was going
to be impossible (-:.. I really do have the 8MM version.
Anyways, I'll have a look at yourweb page today, adn give the
driver a test.. thanks

5627.12 | no luck | TROOA::GREENALL | | Wed Feb 12 1997 08:09 | 21 |
| Well, I tried the driver, and had no luck with it.
I keep getting an error saying the driver cannot find the
device.
I know the device is woring, as it will work from cheyenne backup
( which does not require a driver. I grabbed a demo version from
their
website)
I'm betting that I have a dip switch set to the wrong setting,
which is causing the tape drive to mis-identify itself. I have
spent
days scouring notesfiles and such to try to find a note describing
the dip switch settings to no avail (manual was lost many, many
moons
ago)
Does anyone have any ideas?

Run Regedit
Look in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Hardware
devicemap
SCSI
SCSI port x
scsi bus x
target x
logical unit id x
Post the value for Identifier :

I have updated the TKZ09 driver on the web page to include
support for the TTI CTS-8510. NOTE: This is not a TKZ09.

5627.16 | works like a charm | TROOA::GREENALL | | Fri Feb 14 1997 07:38 | 7 |
| The new driver worked like a charm.
BTW, the box has the tkz09 sticker on the back. might be a different
rev of firmware.
