   Well, I'm not sure about Zane, but I've had that kind of issues with 
RSTS/E, not just layered products, with two DDS drives that I assume 
*was* designed by competent engineers.  They were a TLZ06 and a TLZ07, 
both clean and tested good.

   And, as in Zane's experience, the same tape image installed from TK50 
(TZ30 drive) on the same 11/83 without complaint.
