Glenn,

I used to get my DECUS tapes from Ted Nieland, but he is no longer doing tape 
distribution.  Do you know where Mid-Atl LUGS are supposed to get tapes from
now?  I haven't seen an accurate tree lately. 

I would prefer to get a copy on 8mm or 4mm (DAT DDS).

I am the Cleveland WRUG (Western Reserve User's Group) Tape Librarian.

P.S.  I made some modifications to Paul Sorenson's CDDRIVER that was on
      VAX89B1.  The changes I made so far only address I/O from the MSCP
      server.  The way Paul's driver was coded, it expected the
      IRP$V_FUNC bit in IRP$W_STS to always indicate that the I/O was a
      read.  My experience, from serving a DK drive to the cluster from a
      VAXStation, is that the remote I/O request only have the
      IRP$V_SVRIO bit set in IRP$W_STS regardless if it is a read or
      write.  The only thing that seems to be trustworthy is the function
      bitfield, bits 0-6, of IRP$W_FUNC.

      The whole reason I am making the mods is that I want to use the
      basic CDDRIVER as a platform to build a traffic cop for a DRM-600
      Six disk CD-ROM mini-changer.

      I've found some other things in CDDRIVER that could be changed to 
      improve it's performance.  I'll be posting some of my idea's to
      vmsnet.internals, although I didn't get much feedback from my last
      post.

      Talk to you later,

      Jon
