The file name for the device driver is MU(X).SYS and the device name
is MUn: where n =0,1,2,3. I did a SYSGEN for two TMSCP units.
I believe that 4 units are allowed, but the distributed software allows
ONLY ONE: namely MU0: Also, MU: is available in RT-11 only
with V5.4 and subsequent of RT-11.

The actual device can be a TK50, TK70 and any SCSI compatible tape
drive, although they may not all work. I believe I tried a SCSI TZK12
(or something close) and I could write ONLY ONE file with BUP,
assuming that the INIT was done at the same time and with PIP I was
unable to write any files after the "INIT MU0:" command.

Sincerely yours,
