ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO (patch) kit exists for OpenVMS VAX V5.2-1 through V5.4-1. This
kit addresses the following problems:

o If an attempt is made to initialize or mount a TZK50 when no tape is
present in the drive, 40 minutes can elapse before the Volume not
Software Enabled message is displayed. This image will shorten that
timeout period to approximately 4 minutes.

o SCSI Bus Phase errors which occur during multivolume backup to TZK50s
are also fixed in this ECO kit.
