Looks like no dice on the SLR100 reading SLR5.  See here, scroll down.

You know at first that is EXACTLY what I was thinking. When I searched
on that SRC it ended up in an install section pointing to the door on
the tape unit not being closed well...

But I had no idea how to confirm that. Did a SLIC CD come with the thing
?

And hey, I just noticed something. On our 810 here we have an SLR100
tape unit (I never have used it since we have the 3590 and I was just
digging through the boxes that everything came in and found a cleaning
cartridge that was OBVIOUSLY not for the 3590...) should that be able to
read a tape from the SLR 5 ? The have some backup tapes that I could
possibly restore the needed libraries from.

Thanks !

Chuck

Comment if you disagree - but the more I think abou this, when this box
was decommissioned, this almost sounds like someone went and scratched
the disk and installed SLIC with an automatic D-side IPL and then
powered it off before it was done... It's like it's looking for some
install media to continue on with the install and can't find it, which
is why you're seeing alternate IPL device failures, whether or not
you're on A, B, D... Just thinking aloud, but if you can boot off a CD
it sure would shed more light on this.
