Sam-

If you do a file equation like:

file t;dev=tape

it doesn't know which device (7 or 8) that you want, so it has to ask.

If you do

file t;dev=8

then that might solve your problem.

I have device 8 which is a DLT7000 on a HP3000-979 configured in sysgen
as follows:

     io> LD 8
 LDEV:     8  DEVNAME:                    OUTDEV:        0   MODE:        R
   ID: DLT7000                            RSIZE:       128   DEVTYPE: TAPE
 PATH: 10/4/24.1.0                        MPETYPE:      24   MPESUBTYPE:  8
CLASS: TAPE

     io> LC TAPE

CLASSNAME   MODE    MIN MODE  DCC MODE  # DCC  LDEV
---------  -------  --------  --------  -----  ----
TAPE       default  ncio                0      7, 8,

I did a modify device with mode=autoreply, and when I read a tape it
still asks for a reply.  I am not sure what the mode on the class tape
should be.  Both of the sysgen displays are as the system was originally
set up.
