| There is no Digital product to do this today.
A number of 3rd party products: Try U.S. Design, KOM, or any of the
normal Optical SW vendors.
We're off to the AIIM show next week - I may have a more complete list
after the show.

| Use of Digital RW500 products under NT is in a sad state of affairs
currently. George (SUBSYS::) Pappas is tasked with attempting to develop
a Digital referal program for 3rd party software vendors that will support
the use of RW500 jukeboxes on Alpha's running NT.
Currently products from Cheyenne, distributed by U.S. Design, KOM, and
OTG are being evaluated. Others such as Tracer, Excalibur, Qstar, Acorn
and Pegasus have been considered but either do not have a product, do
not support Alpha NT, or do not support the RW500 product family.
As Chris mentioned, after the show we may have more products to evaluate.
George is responsible person in storage in seeing whatever direction
Digital takes in pushing the RW500 product line usage under Alpha NT.
You may wish to contact him.

| 6569.4 | Is this where its been hiding out... | CSC32::S_WASKEWICZ | | Thu Apr 10 1997 16:54 | 12 |

I've sent numerous mail messages to the product manager on
this subject with no responses, and now I know why.
Not to pour salt on an open wound, but we've been asking about this
for better than two years now, as we have been shipping several
versions of NT on all Alpha platforms.
It appears, based on previous replies, that we are no closer to a
solution for running our optical libraries. Its a shame how many
times I've had to tell people that we can't run em on NT. yet.
Oh well...

| You're preaching to the choir
If you've got any constuctive ideas to help fix this, fire away.
Product management controls the development $.

| They control it more than engineering does....
Basically, it's veto power. In the case above, product management has
been vetoing the development by inaction and disinterest. Marketing has
been no better.
...And the customers get left out in the cold. Again.
It's a self-fullfilling prophecy - They don't believe in the market,
they do nothing, and the product dies. And we wonder why Digital can't
make money.
I'll be happy to continue this discussion offline.

| But Chris, it is so much more interesting for the rest of us to
listen in on if you stay here.....

Interesting, but not productive...
Sigh.
