6690.0. "tz89 support" by EVTAI1::POUSSARD () Thu May 15 1997 09:19

	Hi,



	I have a customer who installed a DLT7000 on the native SCSI I/O
controller on an ALPHAserver 1000A 5/400 . When booting the machine, he doesn't 
succeeed to reach the console prompt. Initialization is hanging on 
"waiting for pka0.7.0.2.0 to poll". When putting a DLT4000, polling is correct
and we achieve console prompt.
	I don't know really what is the firmware level of the DLT7000.

	The customer tried to install the same DLT7000 on a 2100 native SCSI
controller and it is polling correctly.



	The DLT7000 is equivalent to a DIGITAL TZ89, except firmware revision.


	Is the TZ89, today, supported on which platform ???



		Thanks for your answer.



			Gilles.

	We had a problem like this with a TZ89.... Field service finally figured out that pins were bent on the drive and the cable. Check everything.
