That sounds like a handy utility (converts to auto-reply?  new one to me).
It would appear that some "enhancements" are needed for the DEVCTRL (or is
it DEVCNTL) utility in MPEXL.TELESUP to handle these other "attributes" of
DDS drives.  It already switches auto-eject and hardware compression; can
it be that difficult to add these other functions?
