Re: TZ89-VW on Alpha



From: Chris Townley <cctownley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I have gained a coupe of these units, and want to get one onto my
hobbyist Alpha running VMS, but I cannot find any manuals online, I
especially need to know how to set the unit number - there is a DIP
switch on the back

Can anybody point me at a manual, or any suggestion as to the use of
the 8 switches?

All my DLT drives are non-DEC, so I know nothing, but you could
probably find info on a similar bare drive at quantum.com. (First
translate "TZ89" into "DLTxx00".) I seem to have a small collection of
helpful PDF files acquired in this way. Tracing whither the switches
lead is your responsibility, of course.
