It's very weird, for sure.
One of the resellers I trade with is sending me a manual to scan, but
thanks.
My HP C1536 DDS1 works fine, and a TZ06 works, as long as the TZ30 is
attached. I have an Exabyte 8505XL and a TSZ07 I could try as well, but
I don't think it would make much difference.
The only thing I haven't tried is disabling the tape channel
entirely, booting nad configuring the RQZX1 like that, then re-enabling
TMSCP without the TZ30. I'll probably try that out in a week or so,
when I get back from AZ.

I had found
a couple of pages of the manual and have been able to
get into the firmware and configure the system **if and only if** a
TZ30 tape drive is attached.
This sounds odd. A TZ30 is holding your system 'hostage'? I've
connected a TZ30 into the scsi bus and didn't noticed anything odd. Even if the
controller is set to MSCP on both channels and an
alternate second CSR address, I can't access the RFM either by the ODT
method or the BOOT xU253 method, and can't boot from the SCSI disk.
If you need more info from the manual I'll scan the table of contents. This
isn't a showstopper, but it is terribly confusing. The person
from whom I got the switch settings and RFM instructions runs a
variety of tape devices on his RQZX1 with no problems.
What other kinds of tape devices can you use?
