Customer has an alphastation 255 running 4.0b and has a tlz09.
He is trying to use btcreate and this is failing with
>>>b mka500
(boot mka500.5.0.6.0 -flags A)
boot block format for mka500.5.0.6.0
record 0 of mka500.5.0.6.0 is a valid boot block

No disk label

etc....

Now I know that the tape drive is definitely not supported and I have
asked the customer to go and try a tlz06 and tlz07. But in the
release notes for 4.0b 4-14, one of the processors that is supported
is an Alphastation 200. Would that incorporate Alphastation 255?
or is this a totally different beast?
Many thanks

| 8873.1 | Same problem with AS 500 and TLZ06 | RDGENG::ddors.reo.dec.com::readings_r | Thu May 08 1997 14:14 | 4 | |
I have exactly the same problem with my AlphaStation 500/266 and TLZ06. Is the AlphaStation 500 unsupported with btcreate? Richard | |||||
| 8873.2 | Release Notes | RHETT::PARKER | Thu May 08 1997 15:19 | 22 | |
See chapter 4 of the release notes for a listing of the platforms
that are supported. Both of the machines listed in this note are
NOT listed. I think the reason only some platforms are currently
listed/supported is that firmware changes have to be made.
The machines listed are :
DEC 3000 300/300x/400/500/600/900
DEC 2100
AlphaStation 200/600
AlphaServer 1000A/2100/4100
Supported tape devices:
TLZ06, TLZ07, TZK10/TZK11, and TZ86
Hope this helps!
