A problem has been reported to me where TK50s being read on a TK70 drive, during a VMSINSTAL session, will cause a POSITERR when trying to advance to saveset B (a significantly smaller saveset than saveset A). The very same tape installs without any problems when reading from a any TK50 drive and a number of TK70s. My understanding is that DEC's diagnostics do not test TK70s in TK50 mode so I can't guess if these are isolated controller problems or some combination of revision level of the controller and/or driver rev level. Has anyone else seen this problem? Can anyone help?? Thanks in advance, Al Hollander P.S.
