Will my DAT drive allow the MPE/iX 5.0 update on my HP3000?

If its a SCSI DDS drive, the required firmware is 10.7 (later firmware doesn't work either, at least for the moment). The firmware can be updated easily via a "special" tape by a CE. If its a HPIB DDS drive, the correct firmware is version C, but this requires actual disassembly of the drive to update.

Be sure to check this out well in advance. Nobody likes surprises.
