My distributor is having some problem while upgrading the existing
TZ857 drive to TZ887. He has ordered the part number TZ887-UN the
upgrade kit as mentioned in the Novemebr'96 SOC page number 6.86.
While attempting to upgrade TZ857 it was found that the kit is for
upgrading the TZ877 not TZ857 unlike what is mentioned in the SOC.
Please let me know if TZ887-UN is an appropriate kit to upgrade TZ857
to TZ887. If yes can you briefly describe the contents of this part
TZ887-UN and briefly describe the process to upgrade.
Thank you and kind regards.

There is no upgrade to go from a 5 stacker to a 7 stacker. The other
upgrades keep the stacker device and you upgrade from the 87 unit to an
88 unit.

re: .1 A useful bit of information, but not necessarily relevant since the TZ857 *is* a seven slot loader; TZ85 drive, 7 slots. A TZ875 on the other is five slot with a TZ87. re: .0 Or, .1 could have a very relevant point and you typed the wrong part number... | |||||

Your right my dyslexia must have finally caught up to me ;-|.
It was an 857 and not an 875.

The part number is TZ887-UN for upgrading TX8X7 to TZ887. The only
caveat is the loader must be rev E03. I believe this has to do with
routing the cable from the loader control module to the TZ88.
