Customer has an Alpha 2100 with a TZ86 tape drive running Windows NT
3.51 Service Pack 4. Windows-NT will intermittently report that the tape
drive is not accessible. The date of the dlttape.sys is 5-26-95 and it looks
like the rev is 4318(at least this is what is shown from the registry file
on the tz86).
Has anyone heard of such a problem? In the meantime I sent the customer
to our web page to pull the old DECTAPE.zip file and install this one. He
thinks he has loaded this as well, but since the problem is
intermittent he does'nt remember. He said that it has gone a month without
failing before.
Always rebooting resolves the problem though.

Ed,
We are currently having the same problem here. NT 3.51 , sp5 , 2100
with kzpaa. We have swapped tape and controller no change. Customer runs
Arcada backup software. We are currently waiting for the customer to
load firmware from the 3.9 cd that we have just received. He has loaded
new drivers. It got worse when he upgraded his firmware from the 3.7 cd.
If the firmware update does not fix it I will do a CAPE entry (IMPT).
Customer is VA Medical. If you have a fix please let me know.
