We're beginning to see failures in a lot of DEC TLZ06/07 units; fortunately
they can be replaced with TLZ09/10 drives. If a customer needs something
repaired we can only resort to ebay and/or our collection of 2nd user
brokers because trying to track down individual parts is too expensive,
timewise.
