Re: Data R/W Compatibility for TF85 and TF86 Drives
that can only be done if during the writing on the TF86 the tape was explicitly INITed as TF85 compatible.
Afterwards there simply is NO way.
Sorry.

SolutionThe INIT command has a /DENSITY= qualifier, but I am not sure if TF85 is already supported under V6.2
HELP INIT will be your aid there.
The second way to do this is by hardware setting: on the front panel of the drive there ar (IMMSMW) density selecyion buttons.
Those will work irrespective of VMS version.

Re: Data R/W Compatibility for TF85 and TF86 Drives
$ initialize /override=(acc,exp,own) tape: label
to bring it to a lower density.
(I've been running TF86s on OpenVMS VAX V6.1)

Re: Data R/W Compatibility for TF85 and TF86 Drives
yes, indeed, that is the 3rd method: INIT on the TF85 and then use as pre-initted tape on TF86.

Re: Data R/W Compatibility for TF85 and TF86 Drives
I tried
$ initialize /override=(acc,exp,own) tape: label
on tape in TF86 Drive backup some data
and then try to read the same tape in TF85 drive but it did'nt read the tape, giving some label ansi format error...
Moreover /DENSITY quilifier is not allowed for any TF and TK tape Drives.
What may be the solution then???

Re: Data R/W Compatibility for TF85 and TF86 Drives
Whenever you INITIALIZE on the TF86, the tape is recorded in a density that the TF85 cannot process.
The /OVERRIDE prevents the TF85 trying to read anything from the tape.

Re: Data R/W Compatibility for TF85 and TF86 Drives
$ MCR SYSGEN CONNECT FYA0/NOADAPTER
$ SHOW DEVICE MIA
(shows $1$MIA0: (TFBLU0) Online)
$ SET HOST/DUP/SERV=MSCP$DUP/TASK=PARAMS TFBLU0
params> SHOW FORCEDENSITY (should be 2 for TF86)
params> SET FORCEDENSITY 1 (should be 1 for TF85)
params> WRITE
params> EXIT
Now go ahead and initialize the tape(s). When done, reset the density:
