I've done just about everything I can think of to mount TK50 tapes on
my MicroVax (and also on my TK70 on the 4000), and I keep getting the
"%MOUNT-I_OPRQST, Please mount device" error.
I've tried mounting the tapes with "/FOREIGN" as well - no luck.
If I try mounting the tapes with the "/NOASSIST" option - I get the
"%MOUNT-F-VOLINV, volume is not software enabled" error.
I'm running VMS 6.1.
Any ideas? I've tried a half-dozen tapes on both drives with no luck.
In fact, there is no tape drive activity at all when the mount command
is given. I have been trying to "allocate" the drives beforehand, with
no luck in mounting.
AGH! Am I doing something dumb? I've been searching the 'NET and
"Googling" this problem to death - but I've been following all of the
examples.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

If these are, or are intended to be blank tapes, perhaps a quick
'INITIALIZE' might help. Otherwise, a 'ANALYZE /ERROR' would seem to be
in order.
Cheers,
Dave.
