I recently
purchased a few DEC TLZ06-AA DAT drives, and they arrived

but the height of a half-height 5 1/4" drive.
Does anyone know where I can get normal 5 1/4" bezel for them?
Any suggestions on how to mount them in a PC and a uVAX II?
I don't think you're going to be able to get a regular bezel for them, your
best bet would be to take a piece of plastic and fabricate something to go
over the existing one.
Mounting in the PC would be fairly easy I'd think. Just get a 3.5" HD
mounting kit for a 5.25" bay, the same thing would take care of the uVAX II
if you've got the sled for it to go on.
I did something similar a while back in order to mount a different tape
drive. The kit had a blank panel that I cut the center out of so that
it would bridge the gap on either end between drive and case. IIRC, I
also needed to relocate some of the screw holes in the adapter to match
the drive involved.

The TLZ06 is a nice drive, I've got one (with the
5.25" bezel) in my
PWS433au, and OpenVMS loves it.
