5768.0. "NT 3.51 cannot see TLZ09" by MSAM00::PREMSINGH () Tue Mar 04 1997 01:54

    Hi all, 
    
    I have a Alpha Server 1000A 5/400 installed with a TLZ09 dat tape drive 
    configured to the on board SCSI controller.The Bios ver is 5.23 and the
    BIOS can see the tape drive at SCSI id 5.termination is ok.
    
    But the NT 3.51 (without SP) unable to recognise the Tape Drive.
    the driver used is 4mm dat tape drive.
    
    I 've already replaced the latest driver from the web (4mmdat.sys)
    (Dectape.zip) and still unable to see.
    
    I hope someone can help me. Please 
    
    
    thanks

    re: MSAM00::PREMSINGH
    
    You'd better check Service Pack 4 or 5 to see if TLZ09 support is in
    there.  There is almost no chance that the original 3.51 supports the
    TLZ09 out of the box.

5768.2TLZ09 in V3.51 SP 5RWCVAX::COULSONRoger Coulson - RSE DTN 223-6158Tue Mar 04 1997 06:128
    RE: .0
    
    The TLZ09 is a Sony tape drive.  It uses "4mmsony.sys", not
    "4mmdat.sys".  It is in WNT 3.51 SP 5.

	For tape support on Windows NT see

	For the TLZ09 on Windows NT V3.51 you need to use the
Sony 4mm driver from Service Pack 5.
